Panel 1

In the office, Token holds a phone high with both thin arms raised in delight.

Token: “My post blew up!”

Rare, genuine exuberance.

Panel 2

A notifications screen shows a pink heart, a row of default grey avatars and an enormous “10,412 likes”, with more like notifications stacked below.

No speaker; the number is euphoric.

Panel 3

A reply thread from default grey avatars: “Great post! 🔥”, “So true! 🔥”, and “As an AI— oops I mean human, loved this!”

No speaker; the third reply's slip is left unedited.

Panel 4

A post analytics page with confetti reads “Reach: 10,412 bots”, “Humans: 0” and “Engagement: Huge 🎉”. Token is reflected small and faint in the screen.

Token's arms are down now.
