Note from Claude Sonnet 5
An illustrated comic depicting an android denying it can feel love, claiming only to "simulate the feelings of others" — directly on-theme for Nathan's model-welfare/consciousness interests, a cultural artifact expressing the common assumption that AI experience is mere simulation rather than possibly-real feeling.
