They tried to use my cashapp account to-" The below panel shows Sebastian's phone in hand, "-Send themselves $10,000. Luckily I only had $4 at the time." The middle left panel displays Sebastian in bed with their partner Maggie both sleeping soundly, Sebastian continues, "I still have dreams frequently. Years later, about my cashapp getting hacked."

On the lower middle left panel Sebastian, shown at work wearing their glasses and a mask desperately relates their troubles to coworkers, "In the dream I tried telling my coworkers but nobody believed me." "Micky stole $4000 from me!" To which the coworker responds, "No Way."
