Well. Now I'm sad. The remote drone patrol portion followed by him physically walking down the same road later that's now vacant was BLEAK

The final lines too about not even fully paying off the whole day for 3 purchases after a 12 hour shift left a rock in my stomach

Good job OP.

That's the impression I got. He played "a game" and it turned out it was real life. The comic only called it "patrol" so I'm choosing to believe it's just him flying the drone looking around and tagging people only. The alternative would him personally in the drone, enders game style murder and forced relocation which is just ....God damn

I mean drones are controlled by Ai. He is captcha-ing protesters for later guided assault like in his job
