In case you wonder where this came from, I was investigating certain $q$-series in ...

system of complex number equations
Let $a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4\in \mathbb{C}$ be distinct such that
$$a_1^3+a_2^3+a_3^3+a_4^3=0$$
$$(1+|a_1|^2)a_1^2+(1+|a_2|^2)a_2^2+(1+|a_3|^2)a_3^2+(1+|a_4|^2)a_4^2=0$$
$$(1+2|a_1|^2+2|a_1|^4)a_1+(1+2|a_2|^...
