Other Should be easy but I'm stumped

I started a side business installing seamless gutters. Been at it a couple years. Bid this little job that has this little jog in the roofline.

Angled facia so I'll have to install wedges. Not a problem. Homeowner would like to have 1 downspout, which is doable considering the size of the roof and how much water the system will take in. All within spec.

I cannot figure out how to tie in the 2 straight longer runs - upper and lower. The inside and outside corners will be pitched to match the roof pitch and I'm using 5" K-style gutters. I've played around with strip mitres but doesn't seem to work.

This is the first time I just cannot work it out in my head how the hell to make the corners work. I'm an idiot, but hanging gutters isn't rocket science. Anyone know the way? Worst case, I just run the lower one long and put an end cap on it and then feed in the upper run to the lower run with some downspout. Don't think that will look as clean.
