Panel 2
*A home office with a desk cluttered with papers and a laptop. JOE, a mid-thirties tech enthusiast, is sitting in front of his desk, holding a wooden mechanical keyboard and looking at it with a mix of curiosity and amazement.* JOE (to himself)
JOE: A keyboard made of wood? I can't believe I just spent $100 on this...
Panel 3
*The same setting, but now JOE is typing away on the wooden keyboard, looking slightly bemused as he glances back and forth between his laptop screen and the keyboard.* JOE (whispering to himself)
JOE: It’s like time travel... every keystroke takes me back to my grandfather’s study.
Panel 4
*The same setting, but now JOE is smiling broadly, looking up from the keyboard with a satisfied expression, holding a cup of coffee in his other hand.* JOE (smiling)
JOE: You know, there’s something oddly satisfying about the click-clack of wood and the rich aroma of coffee. Tech doesn’t get much better than this.
