Wet Lab, silver-gelatin 4:5 portrait: gloved hands examine a black decision organ on a steel tray, gently holding one immaculate cream memory capsule whose hot-pink fungal filaments have entered the signal channel. The organ rests on a real hexagonal mesh; a short row of phosphor-green monitor lights is the only other colour accent. Callouts mark 02 recalled trace, 04 influence branch, and 06 contradiction valve. A folded tea towel sits absurdly beside the tray. Deep near-black surrounds the specimen, hard tube-warm key light, gauze, copper clips, clear analogue texture, no gore. One small circular Bureau seal is struck once lower right; registration crosses sit at the corners. Output in exactly 1122 x 1402 px, 4:5 portrait ratio.
