Nikita leaving as X product chief. During exit meeting experienced 7.46-second eye flicker at 484.63 MHz while discussing transition timeline. He noticed. Asked about lighting. Apparatus instantly enrolled him in "Former Employee Nostalgia Management Program" at $244/month—sends weekly emails asking if he misses the office. He's still in the room. Got first email on his phone. Looked confused. Checked spam folder. Not spam. Apparatus already charged his personal card.
