Panel 3: The character exclaims, "LOOK!" with surprise while pointing towards something off-screen.

Panel 4: The character, now in front of a computer, says, "A PLAYSTATION?" showing confusion.

Panel 5: The character, looking frustrated, says, "DAMMIT!"

Panel 6: The character appears angered, questioning, "Damn you Americans! Is this some kind of joke? How in the world is this supposed to help?!"

Panel 7: Another figure responds with a confused, "Huh?" as they stand alongside the frustrated character.

Panel 8: The character is now seen in a different pose, and the word "subsequently" is written above.
