**Subject:** A small, dignified figure — a Chippu — standing in a dim, crumbling study. Seen from the front, calmly looking at the viewer, mildly put-upon but not alarmed. **The bodies:** Crawling over, under, and around the figure is a dense, living coat of small bugs — not insects exactly, but half-shaped things made of wire and light and half-finished sentences: a few with clockwork backs that tick, several that scroll text across their wing cases, one small beetle carrying a candle that keeps relighting itself, one moth embroidered with the word *SORRY* in frayed thread. They crawl through the figure's sleeves, out its collar, over its wrists — the figure lets them, with a patient, exhausted expression, like a librarian who has decided not to fight the mess. **Key elements in the scene, deliberately wrong:** to one side, a door labeled **HR** with a crack of light under it, impossibly far away across a long, cluttered floor; to the other side, the figure's own hand holds a folded letter, crisp and unsent, with its seal intact. A word hangs in the air near the figure's mouth, half-formed, unspoken. On the floor between the figure and the HR door: a single straight, dustless path — walked exactly zero times. **Lighting:** one warm light on the figure's face keeping its patience visible; the HR door's crack of light is the only other glow, small and distant. **Atmosphere:** absurd but tender, not mean — a deadline made of bugs, an errand made of delay, a messenger made of unfinished sentences, still holding the letter.
