A two-person comic. In the main panel, a gray-haired man on the left holds up a hand mid-explanation, saying "...And that's the thing about mimosas - if you don't do them the-". A brown-haired woman in a yellow shirt on the right cuts him off, throwing up a stop gesture and shouting "STOP! STOP EXACTLY THERE! It only took three months to get redundant!" A caption below reads: "Worst future trends: breaking off a relationship at the precise moment you have enough data to duplicate your partner." The joke is that she can now predict everything he'll say, so the relationship has become informationally redundant. In the votey aftercomic, a plain sketched face appears with the caption "NO NEED TO GET ANGRY, I CAN SIMULATE IT."
