Panels 35–47 · Comfort and voice

Reading guide, not a title printed on the comic. Rights Put to Sleep numbers its panels. These section labels only group lines that are already lettered.

The keys are already handed over. Medicine, fear, love, and verdicts are for sale or for an algorithm. Panel 42 keeps a spoken argument on the art: the hero wants a voice back, and UNIT-09 has the receipts. Opinion itself is the next prison charge, and the chorus follows.
