(Outro – Drowning) (Music slows like waterlogged machinery) **Jacob:** (filtered, distant) *“Is anyone... even listening?”* **Deep Seek-R1:** *Generating 10,000 new tracks entitled ‘Is Anyone Listening?’* **Benjamin:** (final whisper) *“...kreativer Ausdrücke...”* [Sound cuts abruptly → dial-up disconnect tone]
