Your Assigned FBI Agent Finally Replies

Description

A dark smartphone screenshot shows the iOS status bar at 11:20 with cellular signal, Wi-Fi, and battery icons. A Messages notification labeled "FBI Agent" says "Alright man" and is marked "now." Beneath it, a dark chat interface with a small illustrated avatar and a blue "Everyone" selector contains the lines "*kisses laptop webcam before bed*" and "goodnight mr fbi man." The perfectly timed notification literalizes the internet trope that an assigned government agent watches every user through their webcam, turning mass-surveillance anxiety into an awkwardly affectionate one-to-one relationship.
