Cut to: Extreme close-up of the fig’s skin. It is not smooth. It looks like scarred leather or dry earth. The camera drifts slightly, simulating an unsteady 8mm reel. A single bead of condensation rolls down the stem. The word "Avi" is scratched into the metal base of the scale—visible only in this frame for three frames.
The fig ignites instantly, not with fire, but with a silent, dense black smoke. The smoke does not rise. It pools on the scale, covering the numbers. The screen glitches into a field of digital noise (the "001" reset). The sound cuts to absolute silence. The image snaps back to frame one
A gloved hand (latex, black) enters the frame from the top left. It does not touch the fig. It hovers. The video grain intensifies. The color desaturates from grey to a sickly sepia.
Cut to: The hand again. This time holding a match. The match is struck. It does not light. The hand strikes it again. A tiny, violent flame. The hand moves the flame toward the fig. The loop resets
The scale reads "352g." No movement. The air hums.
The hand retracts. The fig remains. The number on the scale flickers: 352... 351... 352... 350. A low, subsonic tone begins. It feels like pressure in the molars.
