The Illusion of Harmony on the Shelves
Episode 04
When plastic containers are thrown away, the mugs argue about order, color and “harmony”.
There was a note: abandoned containers would be thrown away on Friday, January 29. Friday was still four days away.
But the containers were already gone.
Someone didn't wait. And mugs always notice when something is missing..

The kitchen became quiet again.
No plastic. No noise.
Just mugs, looking at each other differently.
The shelf was still full. But something has changed.
And "harmony" clearly meant different things to different mugs..
