Panel 2:

• Speaker 2: "Our relationship has the hard problem that I cheated on you."

Panel 3:

• Speaker 1: "What if we convert that to 'Do we love each other,' solve THAT, then convert back."
• Speaker 2: "I do love you, but—"

Panel 4:

• Speaker 1: "Then we've solved it!"

Panel 5:

• Text: "LATER…"
