A video starts. “Hi there, I’m, euhm, I’m Frank.” After a short pause he continues. “I’m Frank, I’m fabulous and I’m afraid as fff…. I’m afraid as a dog on the way to the vet and while I don’t know what neutering means and why my owners are telling me…

It’s early enough that the world outside doesn’t exist yet, no lights illuminate the streets here. Small incandescent light bulbs lift the veil of at least this room. Its thick filaments glow reddish, it can’t get warm enough to really show the room, but it’s enough to make and eat…
