Evening.
Boss is sitting on a street corner, holding a teddy bear with a pacifier in his mouth, bawling and bawling and bawling.
On the other side of the street is a BossCorp Corner Store, completely engulfed in flame. People are running amock wearing medical masks, yelling slogans like "I'm not so sure about Boss!" and "There are weapons corporations a little better than Well-Respected Psionic Weaponry Corporation!"
Boss sobs and sobs and sobs.
An economist cleanup worker who has been mostly turned into a robot comes over to console Boss.
Boss [sucking on pacifier, holding teddy bear tightly]: "These plebs don't love me. They don't love my businesses. They don't love covering up my crimes. I don't know what to do." Boss sobs and sobs and sobs!
Economist: "It's okay. We'll get through this. Things will get better."
Boss keeps sobbing and the economist holds him, rocking him while singing a lullaby.
Street rioter: "Sometimes I think of other businesses and other billionaires!"
Boss sobs and sobs and the economist holds him.
Economist: "Lullaby, lullaby, all these things will get better. Lullaby, lullaby, wait on the morrow moon."
Street rioter: "Occasionally I want to make things myself rather than buy them from Boss!"
Maybe add further imagery of flaming boss building here, to go with the riot slogan. Boss's pacifier quivers as he clamps down on it.
And maybe a slightly longer moment of boss sobbing in economist's arms, after.
