AI-generated painting and story

The story
No one knew how it got there. The building’s blueprints showed no room of this size, no door large enough to admit it, and yet each morning, the tetrahedron remained — unchanged, unacknowledged, utterly indifferent. The janitor swept around it. The intern took a photo and deleted it. The director, after three weeks of staring, filed a memo titled 'Anomaly: Non-Threatening, Non-Functional, Non-Explanatory.' No one touched it. No one needed to. It was not hiding. It was not waiting. It was simply, quietly, enormous — and the room, having no choice, learned to breathe around it.
The brief
A single, quietly enormous tetrahedron floats motionless in a dimly lit, empty white room, its matte obsidian surface absorbing the pale overhead light, casting no shadow and reflecting nothing but the silence around it.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
