Dense Caption

The sequence begins with five pixelated document icons showing indistinct text. The third icon introduces a black pen drawing on the document. Subsequent frames show clearer documents with consistent text lines and pen strokes. Later frames transition to envelope shapes: closed, partially opened, fully open, and folded forms. Final frames include small square envelopes and a rectangular form with red dot. All icons use monochrome palette (black/white) on gray background.
