{
  "input": {
    "prompt": " executive backs away; Illustration (comic panel): an employee raises a hand next to a whiteboard reading “PAYROLL RECALCULATED (don’t ask).” The executive is physically leaning backward, palms up, with a startled expression, as if retreating from the question. Add subtle corporate props: HR handbook, “Innovation” poster, a motivational plant that’s dying."
