Pairing humans and animals, they share a common frame and borrow each other's body heat to sustain themselves, using generative AI. Amidst glacial cracks, garbage beaches and landfills, forests emptied by wildfires, oceans filled with drifting plastic, and the shadows of mining and factories, coexistence becomes not a matter of beauty but a contract for survival. Against the backdrop of human convenience, animals' gazes become questions, and their hands become signatures of responsibility. They quietly ask, "Who is saving whom?"
