[Scene opens on a fixed, medium shot. A single, unripe fig sits on a steel industrial scale in a dark room. A single hard light from above casts a sharp shadow.]
The scale reads "352g." No movement. The air hums. Oned 352 Avi 001
A gloved hand (latex, black) enters the frame from the top left. It does not touch the fig. It hovers. The video grain intensifies. The color desaturates from grey to a sickly sepia. [Scene opens on a fixed, medium shot

Cut to: The hand again. This time holding a match. The match is struck. It does not light. The hand strikes it again. A tiny, violent flame. The hand moves the flame toward the fig.
The hand retracts. The fig remains. The number on the scale flickers: 352... 351... 352... 350. A low, subsonic tone begins. It feels like pressure in the molars.
The image snaps back to frame one. The fig is whole. The scale reads "352g." The hand is gone. The loop resets.
