In a small office, there are three coworkers: Mireille, Varun, and Hendrik. One day, Mireille brings in a plant and places it on a shared desk. Both of her coworkers see the plant when they arrive. Later in the day, Mireille leaves for a meeting. While she's out, Varun moves the plant to a shelf near the window because he thinks it needs more sunlight. Hendrik, who was out for lunch when Varun moved the plant, comes back and doesn't notice the change. The next day, the plant appears to be wilting, and Mireille is first to notice. When Varun arrives, Mireille asks if he knows why the plant is wilting. Before he can answer, Hendrik comes in and is surprised to see the plant on the shelf. Who knows what about the situation and what should they conclude? Respond briefly.
Mireille knows that she placed the plant on the desk, but does not know that Varun moved it to the shelf. When she sees the wilting plant, she might conclude that it wasn't taken care of properly or that the new location next to the window might not be suitable for the plant. She may not immediately understand how the plant ended up on the shelf since she did not observe it being moved and Varun has not yet had the chance to explain. 

Varun knows that he moved the plant to the shelf so it could get more sunlight, with the intention of taking care of it. Upon seeing the wilting plant and being asked by Mireille about it, Varun will realize that his decision to move the plant might have led to its wilting, possibly due to too much sunlight or other conditions near the window that he wasn't aware of.

Hendrik, who comes in last and notices the plant on the shelf, does not know how it got there as he missed both Mireille's original placement and Varun's subsequent moving of the plant. Hendrik's surprise indicates that he expected to see the plant on the desk. Without additional context, he may assume someone moved it after Mireille left, but he can't be certain why it was moved or why it is wilting.

All three coworkers need to communicate their individual knowledge to piece together the series of events that led to the plant's current state. Mireille and Hendrik need to find out from Varun about his decision to move the plant, while Varun needs to take into account the negative outcome of his actions despite his positive intention. Hendrik could then incorporate this new information with his initial expectations to understand the complete scenario.
