This is a clean and tidy office. A photo is displayed on the wall. It shows the Memory Stationery staff standing proud in front of a new warehouse. Everyone’s face is full of optimism.  But today the company atmosphere is tense. A4, the CEO of the company, is at his desk and on the phone; he is facing out the window at the sky. His facial expression is timid.

“I hear you, Mr. Scissors,” says A4. “But it’s impossible. I can’t take our prices down that low. You’re asking me to sacrifice our entire profit margin.”

A4 sits in silence as he listens to the response. A bead of sweat runs down the CEO’s face. The voice on the other end is frightening him.

“Sir, last month I discounted our products to the bottom line… Yes, but, please, sir, I’m just an
honest wholesaler. I promise I’m not trying to take advantage of you… Other retailers are happy to pay market rate—”

A4 suddenly pulls the phone away from his ear. The voice is furious and aggressive. It is blasting out the tiny speaker. When the harsh noise calms down, A4 puts the phone back to his ear.

“No, please, don’t cut me. Please, sir. You’re right, okay? You’re right. That was rude of me, I’m
sorry… I know. I’m a scrap. You’re right. I’m no better than a tissue. You’re right…”

A4 changes his tone. He isn’t pleading anymore. He sounds like he has given up.

“Mr. Scissors. I’ll look at our margins and call you back. There might be some way we can go down lower…”

A4 hangs up the phone. He leans back in his chair. His eyes are glazed over. He is deep in
contemplation. He imagines the brutal scenario of Mr. Scissors cutting him into a thousand pieces.

Throughout this entire time, A4 has been recording the conversation onto his paper body. This is his natural ability. A4’s unmistakable memory is the reason why he is the CEO.

A4 picks up the phone and dials a number. Life returns to his eyes.

“Backpack, get everyone together in the meeting room. I have an announcement.”

 Chirine : Mon enfance au Liban 

Hola les dejo unos conceptos clave para entender el audio ya que por ser una civilización maya, tenemos incorporado al español algunas palabras mayas.

Chichen Itzá: Ciudad construida por los mayas en la península de Yucatán.
Kukulkán: Era el Dios adorado por los mayas también conocido como “serpiente emplumada”. El castillo o el templo de Kukulkán es visitado por millones de turistas al año.
El Templo de los Guerreros: Construcción con más de 200 columnas que representa los pilares internos que como guerreros usamos para combatir el mal interior.
El Juego de Pelota: Lugar donde se llevaba a cabo ritos ceremoniales representó la recreación simbólica del mítico combate entre la noche y el día. Hay un fenómeno acústico singular en el campo de juego de pelota: si uno habla en el templo en el extremo sur, la voz se puede escuchar en el extremo opuesto.
El Templo de Xtoloc: Templo utilizado para los ritos ceremoniales, a un lado se encuentra el cenote donde se presume culminaban los sacrificios.
El Caracol: Construcción conocida como el observatorio y es desde donde los mayas observaban los cambios en el cielo y hacían sus anotaciones astrológicas.
Las Monjas: Es llamado así por contener muchas habitaciones que a los españoles les recordó los conventos.
Akab Dzib: significa "La Casa de la Escritura Misteriosa", los arqueólogos creen que se trataba de la fachada frontal, con una vista superior de lo que alguna vez fue un cenote.
Si quieren que hable de algo en especifico por favor mandenme un mensaje.
Saludos y gracias por compartir.

眉- Méi

 "目" - mù - eye, the upper part of 眉- Méi could refer to "毛" - máo", meaning "hair" or "fur." 
The combination represents the hairs above the eyes, hence "eyebrows." 
This formation suggests the character's meaning directly and visually connects it to the facial feature it represents.

用法 (Usage)

 As a noun, "眉" directly refers to the eyebrows. 
 眉毛 - méi mao - eyebrows

例如 (For example): 
他的眉毛很浓。- Tā de méi mao hěn nóng  
(His eyebrows are very thick.)

However, it is often used metaphorically in Chinese to denote expressions or emotions conveyed by the movement of the eyebrows, such as surprise, concern, or anger.

For instance, 眉头- méi tóu - the inner brow, refers to the area where the eyebrows begin, typically located above the inner corners of the eyes.

For example, "皱眉头" - zhòu méi tóu, means "to furrow one's brow," indicating worry or deep thought..

Idiomatic Expressions: "眉- Méi" appears in various idioms that use eyebrows metaphorically to talk about emotions or aesthetic qualities.

例如 (For example): 
眉开眼笑 - méi kāi yǎn xiào - lit. "eyebrows rise and eyes smile," meaning to smile joyfully or beam with happiness

眉飞色舞 - méi fēi sè wǔ - lit. "eyebrows fly and colors dance," used to describe vivid, expressive facial gestures of excitement or happiness

Metaphorical Usage: In poetic or artistic contexts, "眉" can metaphorically relate to things that resemble the shape or curve of eyebrows.

例如：(For example): 
山的轮廓好像一道眉形。-Shān de lún kuò hǎo xiàng yí dào méi xíng 。
(The outline of the mountain resembles the shape of an eyebrow.)
