Another bench under another lamp. Hands in a darned grey jumper hold tweezers to NESSA, an otter puppet, and move her a hair. One frame.

A typed tag on her stand: NESSA · COSTUME TEST 2 · REJECTED: WRONG OVERALLS. TOO CLEAN.

A sign on the stand: NO FACES ON THE FLOOR. THEY REFLECT IN THE LENSES.

CAPTION: Ragna S., lead animator.

RAGNA: Fourteen by lunch. Fifteen if he behaves.

She means the lobster.
