The scene opens on a dim, disordered apartment, the camera settling on Minho, rooted in place by terror. Flickering streetlight bleeds through the curtains, casting stark shadows over scattered documents and an overturned chair. The air hangs heavy and still, broken only by the shallow rasp of his breathing. Suddenly, the doorknob rattles. A familiar, ice-cold voice—Seojin—echoes from the hallway: 'Minho… I know you’re in there.' His hands fly to his sides, sweat beading on his pale brow, eyes darting wildly across the room for anything he can use as a weapon as a slow, deliberate scratching begins to grate against the door.
