■ Primary Axis
- Entry: Can a being understand humanity while first encountering it as prey?
Reason: Human bodies are initially reduced to objects, yet repeated contact begins to disturb that distance.
Related Film: The Man Who Fell to Earth - Middle: Does acquiring a body also mean acquiring fear, shame, and exposure?
Reason: The body shifts from instrument to vulnerability once perception turns inward.
Related Film: Ex Machina - Core: Can imitation of humanity become a trap once the imitator becomes visible as a body?
Reason: The assumed human form becomes the condition of both contact and destruction.

■ Secondary Axes
- Inhuman Gaze: Human society is made strange by being observed without familiar moral categories.
Related Film: Starman - Body as Boundary: Identity collapses where surface appearance and inner being no longer align.
