Mina finds a very comfortable use for the time her new AI saves.

In a warm office, Mina sits in a normal black office chair with one hand on the mouse. She turns toward standing Wes with an exaggerated proud grin. Her monitor offers to make a presentation from a client brief.A closer two-shot holds their eye contact. Wes smiles and opens one hand as he asks his question. Mina looks up at him while reaching down beside her chair, out of view.The office is subtly dimmed, but the monitor remains bright. Mina is now cocooned in a huge teal recliner and a coral-and-cream blanket, surrounded by a giant popcorn bucket, a large soda, and an excessive candy stash. She looks toward Wes and presses a finger to her lips, treating the presentation's 99% progress as a movie climax. Wes looks mildly taken aback.
