What happens to the zaps?

If a person's wallet/node isn't up and someone sends zaps but the other person can't receive them (becuase their stuff is down), what happens to the zaps a person sent?

Are they stuck in some inbetween cyber-limbo? Or do they get a failed transaction notification?

Example:

Yesterday, I asked folks not to zap that article I posted. Today, I see Highlighter shows 24k zaps. Is that attempted zaps or did those zaps go somewhere? Will people get them back eventually because they didn't get my wallet/node?

--- Update: Now that I refresh the dashboard page of Highlighter, the amount of views + the amount of zaps randomly change with each refresh. What I see in the picture above may be dummy/random data.

Still - I'd like to know what happens to zaps when someone has a wallet/node/lightning address but they can't actually go anywhere if it's not hooked up properly.
