He speaks to the camera.
REID: And if people know that about me, I think that helps both of us.
He continues in voiceover. He walks past the blue UnitedHealthcare logo emblazoned on a white wall, then crosses between a row of cubicles on his way back to his desk.
REID: I'm not treated as, like, a charity case or like I'm just here to check a box. I am part of a team.
