The giant pink bubble sways gently above the desks, with crumpled papers slowly rotating inside. Keep Poppie's body proportions unchanged, with no mouth and no limbs. Preserve real-camera film grain and the people, materials and colours of the first frame. Do not turn it into CG. No music or speech. No subtitles or added text.",

Do not flatten him, lay him down or change his shape. Move him only a short distance slowly to the right. The symbols refresh and flicker, leaving a trail of symbols behind him. The pink ring drifts right. Keep the background black. Strictly preserve the first frame's drawing style; do not make it photorealistic or 3D. Only quiet electronic noise, no music or speech, and no added text."
