Sebastian continues onto the right panel with an image of a computer saying download cashapp, “…Someone broke in and took my computer. 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.”

In 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.”
The lower bottom middle right panel shows Sebastian in profile with their thumb pointing backward as if towards Micky, speaking to a coworker Sebastian says “Micky stole $4000 from me!” The Coworker responds, “No, there’s no way he did.”
