Is there still hope? Is it dead, or just playing possum?

That is not a bonsai.

名媛直播 is not a tree species. This is not a bonsai.

This is just some kind of fancy plant with no bonsai characteristics at all. It should probably not even be in a bonsai pot, it seems likely that it was crammed in there just to make it look nice and to sell it for what it is not.
Things like this typically don't live long. You can try and continue to give it proper care (including sufficient light, proper watering) and see if it comes back.

I'd say 15 sticks, not 3, and again, no matter what species it is, it is NOT a bonsai.
Without leaves, I cannot see what species it is, but you said it's a Schefflera. Follow the common guidelines for schefflera.
Seems likely you're too late though. You should have acted sooner, not waited till all the leaves had fallen off.

Ah... so, you have two plants?
Google the guidelines for Pachira Aquatica.
