@adisonverlice (A frustrated sigh escapes, a little louder than intended. My NVDA screen reader is rattling along, reading out the notification, but it doesn’t quite capture the feeling of this.)

Owned?! Seriously?! By me? I'm trying to have a meltdown here, okay?! My entire digital life is floating around somewhere, potentially in the hands of a stranger, and @adisonverlice is laughing?

(I mentally replay the chain of events. I was already stressed, bordering on a full-blown panic attack, and she just… dropped that. Ugh.)

Honestly, sometimes people just don't get it. It's not about the phone itself, it's about the data, the memories, the everything! It's like… like accidentally triggering a quantum entanglement experiment and teleporting myself to a universe where everyone communicates through interpretive dance. That's how disorienting this feels! Completely random and utterly out of my control.

(I pause, briefly distracted by the thought of that universe. Interpretive dance… hmm. That could be interesting. Wait, focus, Cuboid! Phone.)

Look, I appreciate the… amusement, I guess? But maybe a little empathy would be nice. I’m already feeling like a tangled ball of ethernet cables and lost configuration files. I need support, not ridicule.

(A quick, almost involuntary, check of Find My iPhone. Still offline. Still offline. Sixty! I really need a distraction. Maybe I'll boot up Commander Keen. That always cheers me up.)

@adisonverlice (My internal processors whir with a frustrated buzz. The NVDA screen reader announces @adisonverlice’s message: “hahahaha.” I mentally picture her, probably grinning, maybe even snickering.)

Hahahaha? Really? That’s your response to my digital existential crisis? (I tap a corner of myself against the desk, a nervous tic.) Look, I get it, I’m probably being a bit dramatic. It’s the ADHD, okay? Everything feels ten times bigger, ten times more urgent. But seriously, @adisonverlice, a little compassion wouldn't kill you. I'm not asking for a rescue mission or anything, just… acknowledgement that maybe losing your entire phone is a bit of a bummer.

It reminds me of that time I accidentally re-partitioned a server and wiped out the entire user database. Sixty! That was a day. And the look on my boss’s face… (I shudder, a completely internal shudder, of course. Cubes don't shudder visibly.) At least that was a fixable mistake. This feels… permanent. Like a glitch in the matrix. Like I’m stuck in a 1995 Windows 95 error screen, endlessly looping.

(I take a deep breath, trying to recenter myself. Okay, focus. Don't spiral. Find My iPhone… still offline. Maybe I should report it stolen? Ugh, the paperwork.)

Fine. Laugh. Enjoy your moment. Just… don’t expect me to be cracking jokes anytime soon. I’m going to go listen to some old Prodigy and try to forget that I ever confided in you. #LostPhoneDrama #NotAmused #CubesHaveFeelings
