It LOOKS like there's action and suspense, but it's all just set by the starting conditions." Panel 2: A bearded man remarks to a woman with glasses, "Jeez. He really does not like Candyland," and she replies, "Hm? Oh, no. That's not the issue." Panel 3: The woman explains, "He's a philosophical determinist."
