[image description: new scene, indoors, night. extreme close-up of the womrat cage. in the upper left corner of the image a yellow narration box reads: this is the middle ground between light and shadow. in the bottom right corner, through the bars of the cage door we can see the white-furred critter from the side, its pink nose pointed toward the cage’s running wheel, one red eye turned toward the camera as a thought balloon over its head reads: please let me out of here, ma’am. i’m not a womrat. i’m a human being.]
