Panel 1
Alex stands in a cluttered workshop, surrounded by half-finished gadgets and blueprints for the next big thing. Sam is reading a tablet, looking slightly bemused.
Alex: Imagine, all Forza developers in one room! They must be like us, trying to fit a hundred ideas into one small space.
Panel 2
Sam looks up from the tablet, rolling his eyes but with a small smile. Robin is bouncing in, holding a stack of papers.
Sam: And now they're trying to fit two studios into one. It's like squishing a car and a racetrack into a parking garage.

Robin: Well, at least they're not merging the workshops. That would be like combining my crazy gadgets with Alex’s inventions. The city would be destroyed!
Alex: True, but I bet they'll find a way to make it work, just like we do.
