Panel 1. At her desk, the Manager gestures at a laptop marked with a red Wi-Fi icon. Brian listens over his coffee. The Manager: “The Wi-Fi works in the hall. Why does it drop at my desk?”
Panel 2. Patch hovers beside a floor tile marked green, holding an open laptop. Patch: “I tested your laptop. There’s one reliable spot in here.”
Panel 3. The Manager and Brian crouch beside the green tile. An office chair hides most of a terracotta pot. The Manager: “Can we move a desk there?” Brian: “That spot’s already occupied.”
Panel 4. The Manager sits on a small stool on the green tile. Her laptop shows a potted plant wearing a headset on a video call from home. The Manager: “I approved the plant for remote work.”
