The camera tracks the frantic blur of daily life, slowing as it focuses on you’s rigid, unchanging routine. A simple existence, until the neighbor, Jack, enters the frame. He is an insomniac worker bee, mundane yet captivating. The scene shifts to the dim hallway outside you’s apartment. Fingers fumble with keys, groceries heavy in hand. A sudden, pained groan breaks the silence. The lens pans to Jack, leaning heavily against his door, his face a mask of bruises and exhaustion, watching you with weary eyes.
