Little circle at a computer. "We will now be brining this meeting of the shape united nations to order." Circle sips some coffee while a blue triangle with rounded edges glares behind the circle. The triangle puts it's hand over the mouth of the circle and says "Stay on mute and nobody gets hurt." The circle splashes coffee on the triangle, getting the attention of the shape UN. We jump to a court scene where a handcuffed triangle is declared guilty and put behind bars.

In public! In conversations! In text to friends!” In this panel, there are characters with bits of conversation shown like “clean energy” “mental health” “disablity” and so on.
