An Empress wearing tight black leggings and white Nike sneakers stands by the wall at the bus stop, talking on her phone. Just behind her foot, a snail rests on the ground — completely unnoticed. As she casually shifts her foot backward while continuing her conversation, her sneaker comes down directly on it. The snail is instantly crushed beneath her sole, collapsing into a slimy, dirty smear on the ground. She briefly glances down after feeling it, but only for a second. Then she continues talking on the phone as if nothing happened. To her, it’s completely insignificant. At the end, she looks down once more before turning her attention back to her conversation, still waiting by the wall. The snail has been mercilessly crushed and reduced to nothing more than a smear beneath her step.
