# Story

This document shows both the short draft first given to the AI agent and the completed story after discussion and revision.

## 1. The text TAKO first gave to the AI agent (`story.md`)

The text below is the original draft provided at the start of production. It is intentionally shown before cleanup, including its source-file names and staging notes.

This is the TAKODAM prologue (before Episode 1).

Title: The Beginning of the End

Kakyo: TAKO, do you have a minute?
TAKO: Yes.

They enter the meeting room.

Kakyo: Says something. No audio.
TAKO: Close-up of his shocked face. Use the usual music. (Imitate the way Tessy's surprise was shown in TAKODAM Episode 2.)

=================================================
On-screen text
2017

NIJIUNIT is an IT company founded in the mountains.
At first, there were only TAKO, an engineer, and TAKO's wife, who handled office work.
(Please create a new character: タコヨメ.png.)

Work from Earth Defense Force Co., Ltd. went well, and the team gradually grew.

The AI research by the three members was especially well received, and they even won an award.
(A photo of TAKO, Tessy, and Niki celebrating with a trophy falls into view.)

Sales also reached a record high. Just when everything was going extremely well, Kakyo called me in.
=================================================

Kakyo: We don't need you three anymore. AI will do everything now.
But you will hand over how to use the AI.

The background behind TAKO spins as he becomes dizzy.

### How the draft refers to its source materials

- `タコヨメ.png`: the reference image for TAKO's wife, requested as a new character in the draft.
- Photos of Tessy and Niki: character references for the scene in which the team grows.
- A photo of the three members holding a trophy: the staging note for the AI-research award scene.

## 2. The completed story after discussion with the AI agent

### Scope

This document covers “The Beginning of the End,” the 75-second story at the beginning of the video.

### Story

1. TAKO, an engineer working at his computer, is called into a meeting room by Kakyo.
2. Kakyo begins to speak while TAKO listens uneasily.
3. A close-up of TAKO's shocked face, followed by sound and a fade to black, begins a flashback.
4. A card reads “About 20 years earlier.”
5. TAKO, then a freelance engineer in the city, moves to the mountains with his wife and young daughter.
6. He continues his IT work there. As the work grows, Tessy and Niki join him.
7. Their AI research is recognized, they receive an award, and sales reach a record high.
8. A “Present day” card returns the story to the same meeting room.
9. Kakyo says the contracts for all three people will end and AI will take over the work.
10. He also orders them to hand over their AI research and know-how during the remaining three months.
11. TAKO's view begins to spin as he struggles to process what he has heard.

### Decisions made during production

- “2017” was replaced with “About 20 years earlier.”
- TAKO was shown as an IT engineer, not as a farmer or cleaner.
- Farm tools and a straw hat were removed from the office scenes.
- Fades, time cards, and matching meeting-room compositions clarified the flashback and return to the present.
- Important Japanese text was added in post-production instead of being generated inside images.

Use this as a production example. A new work should replace the characters and events with the creator's own material.
