The same man, now looking uneasy, against a dark red background, with a thought bubble.
Man (thinking): "I don't know a single person I haven't imagined killing or seeing naked."
Votey:
A bald figure wearing a brain-scanning helmet (with a cable/probe curving up from it) looks nervous and sweating.

A two-panel comic contrasting a person's stated versus real reasons. Top panel header: "WHY I SAY BRAIN SCANNING SHOULD NEVER BE LEGAL." A man with reddish-brown hair in a blue shirt speaks grandly: "It would be a final invigilation of the only remaining private refuge granted us by nature!" Bottom panel header: "WHY I THINK BRAIN SCANNING SHOULD NEVER BE LEGAL." The same man, now looking guilty and uneasy against a dark background, thinks: "I don't know a single person I haven't imagined killing or seeing naked." Votey: A bald, nervous, sweating figure wearing a brain-scanning helmet with a cable on top says "Sorry grandma," implying the scan is exposing his unwelcome private thoughts.
