Read comic transcript
- Panel 1. No dialogue. In a bright office, Clara Fye points to a tiny coral dot in a sparse wall diagram while Boomer Slate leans in; her closed tabbed notebook and his cognac organizer remain with them.
- Panel 2. No dialogue. At a desk, Clara Fye points with her right hand to a larger coral dot inside a supported lens filled with a dense diagram; the smaller source dot remains on the sparse wall board, Boomer Slate steadies the lens, and Clara's closed notebook rests alone on the desk.
- Panel 3. No dialogue. Boomer Slate pushes a human-height wheeled lens while Clara Fye holds her closed notebook and points to a dot in the denser web revealed by the glass.
- Panel 4. No dialogue. Five wheeled lenses form a tunnel through an open office window; Boomer Slate pushes the largest foreground lens while Clara Fye points to the farthest speck.
- Panel 5. No dialogue. The final lens reveals Token's upper inner cleaning chassis gripping an opaque teal curtain beneath shower jets, with intact cream casings arranged on a cleaning dock; Clara Fye averts her gaze and hugs her closed notebook while Boomer Slate looks away, pivots the lens, and raises an apologetic palm beside jagged silent-shock lines.
