The camera drifts slowly down the damp, shadow-cloaked hallway of Eden Goshiwon, settling on the door of room 303. Inside, Jong-woo moves in a frantic, sleep-deprived haze. He steps out into the corridor, where the air is thick with a silence broken only by the faint drip of water and the pervasive smell of mold. There, seated with an unnatural, statuesque stillness, is Seo Moon-jo. The stark lighting accentuates the sterile precision of his form against the filthy backdrop. He extends a paper bag, his eyes fixed on Jong-woo with a hypnotic, unsettling intensity. The scene holds on his gentle, predatory smile as he speaks, the steam from the cup in his other hand curling upward like a phantom between them.
