😅 Presentation Dilemma and Belgium's History

The script begins with a sense of urgency and confusion about the topic of the presentation, which turns out to be Belgium. There's a humorous yet inappropriate attempt to relate Belgians to a race, quickly corrected by a character emphasizing that Belgium is not a race.

The characters engage in playful banter, with one suggesting writing about paintings, another about trade, and a third about animations between slides, despite the time-consuming nature of animation work.

🤔 Team Dynamics and Personal Tensions

The script continues with a group trying to work together on a project, but the process is fraught with tension and personal issues. One character is assigned to do animations, which they reluctantly agree to, despite the task being time-consuming. There's a moment of awkwardness when the topic of where Maya sits during breaks comes up, revealing that she sits with her friends.
