一台临终照护陪伴机器守过无人到场的小夜时分，外包的温情与人类缺席变得难以分开。

模型创意简报：

A small, plain hospital room at night, lit only by a low warm bedside lamp and the faint blue of a corridor beyond a half-open door. In the chair beside an empty, freshly made bed sits a soft humanoid figure in unbleached linen, roughly human-sized, with a woven panel where its mouth would be and two dim circular lights where its eyes would be. Its hands, folded in its lap, should read as warm — slightly flushed, almost living. On the dresser, a single black-and-white photograph of a young man from the early 1960s in a paper frame. No human is in the room. The composition should feel tender, not menacing: the uncanniness should come from how convincingly the scene resembles vigil. Muted palette: bone, cream, oxblood, lamp-amber, corridor-cyan. Painterly realism, soft edges, no logos, no text, no visible technology beyond the figure itself.
