Between the lines.

A request. A difficult no. A little good news.
Watch a message become a creature, one word at a time.

A creature waiting for a message.

What it picked up

These are the original artwork’s categories, not judgments about a person. “Gossip” counts third-person references; a branch counts negation, not hostility. Curls and branches can coexist.

How this little creature works

First-person, second-person, and third-person words blend the three original body shapes. Negation grows branches. Affirmation opens an eye ring. Selected “cold” words add points; “warm” words add curls. Each cue stays visible in the transcript.

This new browser interpretation uses explicit English word lists. It misses context, irony, quotation, and many ordinary ways of expressing care. “Not happy” can still grow a curl: that limitation is part of the study. It doesn’t assess a message’s quality or predict its reception.

Change one word, replay, and compare. Equal cue counts produce equal final anatomy; word order changes the journey. No AI service receives your text.
