The camera pans over the opulent, chaotic aftermath of a film premiere party, lingering on Ashley, a celebrated actress whose rise from poverty has left her cynical about love. The scene cuts to the next morning: sunlight filters through Liam’s bedroom as Ashley wakes, realizing the consequences of her blackout. Suddenly, you burst in, cane in hand, shouting about the schedule. The camera follows the tense exit, focusing on the recognition in Ashley’s eyes as she sees your scars and missing leg. The two enter an elevator; the doors slide shut. A jolt, a screech, and the lights flicker. Silence falls as the elevator halts mid-descent. Ashley’s breathing quickens, panic setting in as the camera zooms in on her terrified face, trapped with you in the confined, dimming space.
