Second panel: A man is standing in front of a desk, his arm bandaged. There is a second man sitting behind the desk. There is a plaque on the desk reading ‘Architect’.

First panel: Man standing beside a desk. There is a plaque reading ‘CTO’ and a box containing a wand.
Man: *gasp* The CTO’s wand!
Second panel: The man is brandishing the wand, and his hat has become a wizard’s hat. There are three clones of a different man carrying buckets filled with water, and two clones of a woman also carrying water-filled buckets.
Third panel: The man is standing on a rock amid waves. He is brandishing the wand and his clothes have become wizard’s robes.
Fourth panel: Similar to the third scene. The waves are darker, the rock is gone, and the man is immersed in the water. His wizard’s hat looks rather forlorn.]
