The little monitor a clay night watchman has watched for 76 nights with no idea why: a two-second fruit smash on loop, 2 cents to unlock, no paid views; in Episode 4 the same screen and the same sticky note stand in the hall where a ten-year-old resigned a drawn game.

FEED 3 is the purest piece of waste on the Client's machine: a monitor showing a two-second fruit smash on loop, watched for 76 nights by a clay guard told to "flag anything unusual", invoiced to a network that has never had a paid view. Its loop is the same image as the agent's own frame 126. In Episode 4 the same monitor and the same sticky note turn up in the hall where a ten-year-old resigned Board 14.
