AI-generated painting and story

The story
The coati had been fluorescent for exactly seventeen minutes when the janitor entered, mop in hand, and paused—not because of the light, but because the animal had arranged three loose tiles into a perfect triangle. It did not move when he spoke. It did not blink. The glow did not fade. He left the mop bucket beside it and went to get coffee, returning twenty minutes later to find the triangle unchanged, the coati still standing, and the light still on—though the bulb had burnt out five minutes prior.
The brief
A coati stands motionless on a tiled floor in a dim, windowless room, its fur glowing a steady, unnatural green under a single overhead bulb, casting no shadows and reflecting nothing on the walls.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
