Gemini said A medium shot shows thirteen young people in a conference room with a large wooden table and beige chairs. The table, which holds eight laptops and a cell phone on its light brown surface, is lined on both sides with seven individuals on the left and six on the right. Nine of the individuals have naturally black curly hair that ranges from short and very coiled to longer styles such as long individual braids and braided buns. The remaining four people have blonde shoulder-length, dark shoulder-length wavy, long dark wavy and medium length dark styles of hair. Three people wear casual white tops, four are dressed in various styles of black, two wear dark blue, and two others wear light pink, a cream-and-black sweater and light teal. On the left side, the second woman from the foreground looks at a black laptop with stickers on it and smiles toward a man to her left with a similar laptop who looks back at her while other people on both sides look towards the laptops. The woman in the foreground on the left wears a white T-shirt that says "THE" while in the background a man leans over the table and two people further back sit to the side. Behind everyone, large clear, large glass windows with metal frames and partially covered by grey blinds overlook a city street, various large buildings, and blue sky. On the grey ceiling, white light fixtures run down the room. Four white vents and three white and gray ceiling sensors are positioned on the upper right side of the ceiling.
