On the recipient’s end, their phone buzzes with an incoming video call notification, displaying Jacob’s face or an unknown caller icon. As they accept the call, the screen transforms into a window, revealing a live feed of Jacob’s face on the other side. Despite their confusion, the recipient finds themselves drawn into the image, their attention focused solely on Jacob’s presence.
As Jacob begins to speak, the magical essence of the “Talents Phone” subtly enhances the connection, imbuing the video feed with a sense of depth and clarity that transcends ordinary technology. Despite any technological limitations or Jacob’s own misunderstanding, the video feed remains stable and clear, allowing for seamless communication between the two parties.
