Panel 1:

• A young man named Landon, a college athlete, stands skeptically in a cluttered antique shop.

Panel 2:

• Landon examines a delicate, ornate ring on a velvet pillow with a card labeled "Feminine Understanding".

• Landon's speech bubble: "Just a myth, right? Can't hurt to try."

Panel 3:

• Landon slides the ring onto his finger; his body slightly shudders as he looks at it with fascination.

• Landon's speech bubble: "Feels kinda warm...odd."

Panel 4:

• A buzzing sensation spreads from the ring through Landon's body, his eyes widen in disbelief.

• Landon's speech bubble: "What's happening to me? This tingling... it’s spreading everywhere!"
