“Don’t make eye contact with it” in a Shanghai elevator

Photo-real scene inside a clean, modern high-rise elevator: stainless steel walls, mirrored panel, floor indicator between 12 and 13, people standing politely as if avoiding a puddle. The medium-sized “؜” floats mid-air at chest height, with a barely-visible shadow/edge highlight and a subtle distortion of reflections on the metal wall behind it. Subjects (3–5 office workers) avert their gaze or stare at the floor; one person’s body is angled to step around it. Lighting should be cool fluorescent; include a small elevator safety certificate sticker in Chinese to set locale.
