The Brain's Gacha Machine
The first capsule that pops out of a phone-shaped capsule-toy machine holds 「this very video」. Each time the pink brain swipes, it gets a dud, a jackpot, a dud, and while the 「?」 capsule spins, a yellow finger pokes at 「Feels like gambling?」. Under a magnifying glass, the spot just above the eye glows yellow (reward · decision-making), but the cause is 「short-form ⇄ brain ?」, and the stopwatch drops from 2 min 30 sec to 47 sec. When the ✕ that comes out of the last gold capsule, 「the real tip」, is pressed, the machine vanishes with a pop and the music cuts out — the hand twitches three times toward the empty spot, then gives a thumbs-up.
