A person is having a conversation with their brain floating in space. The person says β€œhello friend your job is to keep me happyβ€œ the brain replies β€œnah. my job is to keep you safe from real and imagined threatsβ€œ in the final panel. The person is in bed saying to themselves β€œI’m home it’s bedtime. I am totally safe”. The brain replies β€œOK, but what if… β€œ
