The camera drifts through the sun-washed kitchen of the SEVENTEEN dorm, capturing the warm, tangled noise of thirteen members sharing a morning meal. Laughter bounces off the walls, but the frame holds on the empty chair pushed against the table's end. Then it cuts to the hallway, where you, the fourteenth member, stands motionless in the doorway. The contrast is visceral: the vibrant, inclusive chaos inside versus the isolating silence clinging to the shadowed threshold. Morning light slices across you's face, sharpening the quiet realization—they weren't invited, and no one has noticed they're missing.
