Panel 1

Samuel presents a new AI HOSPITAL to an investor.

Samuel: “No doctors. No nurses. Entirely AI.”

The investor listens.

Panel 2

The investor raises one questioning hand.

Investor: “What happens when it gets something wrong?”

He looks toward Samuel.

Panel 3

Samuel replies with a small reassuring gesture.

Samuel: “We’ve built an entire second business around that.”

He remains completely calm.

Panel 4

A wide view reveals a conveyor belt running directly from AI HOSPITAL into AI FUNERALS next door. A closed coffin rides the belt beneath a sign: ONE ACCOUNT. SEAMLESS TRANSFER.

Samuel and the investor silently watch the belt.
