## Scene Type

**DESK** – Paper form focus, hands-on filling out. Distinct from adjacent posts:

## Key Elements (On-Theme, Concrete)

- Blank or partially filled-out paper form (no readable text, numbers, or labels)
- Pen beside or on the form
- Organized desk setting

- Calculator (steuerklassen uses that)
- Compartment tray (lohnarten uses that)
- Laptop (freelancer uses that)
- Abstract nodes, flowing lines – not topic-specific
- Vertical columns, stacked blocks – generic
