Since moving in with a roommate last winter, I've noticed their little bonsai slowly shrivel up over the colder months.
I've still been watering it daily, I've kept it in a sunny part of the house (it should be getting light for at least 12 hours on a sunny day), I've pruned the smaller branches/roots back slightly to encourage some growth, I've changed the soil multiple times (I guess the last time I changed the soil there were some other seeds that came along for the ride), and I've tried leaving it outside.
Anyway I guess I'm just wondering if there's anything that can be done at this point, or am I just spoon-feeding a corpse?
Any advice is appreciated, although I think it's a lost cause at this point.

That plant is already with Jesus. Yes, dispose of the corpse.
1. This appears to be as dead as a plant can get. 2. I’m not a bonsai guy but under almost no circumstances should you be watering any other plant every day and I assume the same can be said for bonsai. 3. You say you changed the soil *multiple* times in the six months you’ve had access to this plant? That’s likely way too much. You have absolutely “cared” this plant to death, and then some.
The only thing “saving” is the pot.
Dear beloved
W-watering…..DAILY? It’s a Bonsai, not a pond.
Cool branch structure. Maybe let things grow under it and use it as decor? Would have a very goth aesthetic
