**PAGE 1:** *Panel 1:* A serene forest with birds chirping and the gentle sway of evergreen trees. Sunlight filters through the pine needles, casting a mosaic of light onto the forest floor. *Panel 2:* Close-up on YUKI, the young, sprightly lumberjack. His short blonde hair is tousled and his clear blue eyes shine with determination. He's rolling up the sleeves of his red plaid shirt. CAPTION: "YUKI, a lumberjack with more than just trees to contend with." *Panel 3:* Yuki is geared up, pulling on his rugged brown work gloves and securing the straps on his suspenders. His jeans are caked with the evidence of his laborious work. *Panel 4:* In the background, his chainsaw sits idle on a tree stump. It's not like any other chainsaw--it has an air of sentience about it, and its pull cord seems to twitch slightly in the quiet of the woods. **PAGE 2:** *Panel 1:* Yuki snaps on his earmuffs, muffling the sound of nature around him. He slides down his safety goggles with a confident smirk. SFX: *CLICK* *SNAP* *Panel 2:* A tight shot of Yuki's hand firmly gripping the chainsaw handle. He gives the pull cord a strong yank. SFX: *VROOM!* *Panel 3:* A wide shot showing Yuki revving the chainsaw, trying to find the perfect idle. The chainsaw vibrates with a peculiar energy. *Panel 4:* Yuki leans into his first cut of the day on a towering pine. The chainsaw's blade bites the bark. CAPTION: "And so it begins." **PAGE 3:** *Panel 1:* Inside the chainsaw's "mind," the mechanized innards seem to light up with a sultry glow. *Panel 2:* Despite the reality that chainsaws do not possess vocal cords, an imagined bubble-lettered SFX emerges from the saw, "oozing" along the action lines of the cut. SFX: *Mmmmmm~* *Panel 3:* Another imaginary speech bubble, more suggestive and playful, pulses alongside the roaring hum of the engine. CHAINSAW: "Oh yes, that's the spot~!" *Panel 4:* Yuki, oblivious to the chainsaw's "inner thoughts," is focused on his task, perfect posture, cutting expertly through the pine. **PAGE 4:** *Panel 1:* A close-up of Yuki's face, showing a bead of sweat rolling down his temple but his expression is nothing but professional concentration. *Panel 2:* An over-the-shoulder shot from Yuki's perspective: the tree begins to tip, the chainsaw all but purring in its mechanical echo. SFX: *KRRRR-EAK* *Panel 3:* The chainsaw, borderline ecstatic in its "mind," the sensuality of its "feelings" increases but Yuki remains immune due to the earmuffs. CHAINSAW: "Faster, deeper!~ I live for this!" *Panel 4:* Yuki steps back as the tree falls in slow motion, his safety measures in place, his face a picture of a job well done. **PAGE 5:** *Panel 1:* The tree lands with a thunderous crash, sending birds fluttering from their perches and leaves rustling in disturbance. SFX: *BOOOOOM!* *Panel 2:* Yuki turns off the chainsaw, which goes silent, the sensuous afterglow fading from its "thoughts" as the job is completed. *Panel 3:* With a job well done, Yuki wipes the sweat from his brow and looks around at the clear-cut section, not a whisper of naughtiness heard by him. *Panel 4:* Yuki lifts the idling chainsaw onto his shoulder, ready to tackle the next task, unaware of just how "unique" his tool really is. CAPTION: "Though Yuki's chainsaw might yearn for a different kind of attention, their bond -- strictly professional."
