In a near-future city, a therapy room becomes the stage for a confronting conversation between a recently displaced worker, B, and a brilliant but wary tech designer named A. B’s questions—What is left when your job defines you? Why does a machine deserve your paycheck?—uncover a broader social fracture: a world where value is quantified by efficiency, not humanity. As the dialogue ricochets between clinical assessment and raw longing, the two characters reveal personal wounds caused by automation, insurance constraints, and the hollow comfort of “re-skilling” programs. The tone remains intimate, unsentimental, and quietly defiant, balancing dry humor with existential gravity as they navigate truths about dignity, memory, and the simple need to belong.
