Hanne has company coming. The nicest corner is ready.

01

A visit

Hanne welcomes Nuria at her apartment door, holding her phone.
Hanne

I’VE TIDIED UP.

Nuria

ALREADY?

02

A photo

Hanne photographs a blue armchair and a small table. Only this tidy corner appears on the phone.
Hanne

LET ME ASK THE AI.

AI reply

LOOKS TIDY!

03

A question

Nuria leans towards Hanne and points at her phone.
Nuria

WHICH PHOTO DID YOU SHOW IT?

04

The crop

The wide view reveals boxes, books and clothes beside the tidy corner.
Hanne

THIS BIT HERE.

05

The rest

Nuria gestures towards the boxes. Hanne looks sheepishly at the phone.
Nuria

AND THE REST?

Hanne

WASN’T IN THE PICTURE.

06

Getting started

Hanne lifts a box while Nuria helps with the clothes. The phone rests on the notebook.
Hanne

TIME TO TIDY UP IN LANDSCAPEMODE.

Hanne’s notebook
  • Tidied up. Here, at least.
  • Sent a photo. Got a friendly answer.
  • Nuria wants to see the picture. Not the answer.
  • Outside the crop: quite a lot left to do.
  • A fitting answer. To a very small picture.
  • Put the phone down. Widened the frame.

What is outside the picture remains unknown. Even after a friendly AI reply.
