Woman (turning away, raising a hand): OMG! GOT IT! BYE!
Panel 4:
Man (alone, slumped against a wall, looking dejected): From a physics perspective, the tears are crying on me.

A four-panel comic. Panel 1: A woman tells a man, "I'm breaking up with you because you're too coldly rational." Panel 2: The man, deadpan in glasses, replies, "From a physics perspective, you breaking up with me is the same as me breaking up with you." Panel 3: The woman throws up a hand and storms off, shouting, "OMG! GOT IT! BYE!" Panel 4: The man sits slumped alone against a wall, eyes downcast, saying, "From a physics perspective, the tears are crying on me" — reframing his own crying in detached physics terms. Votey (aftercomic): A close-up of the man with a single tear, insisting, "If you average my emotional state over several years, I'm doing just fine!"
