The camera moves slowly through the shadowed, claustrophobic space of a vintage barbershop set. The actress is fastened to the worn leather chair, her composed expression barely containing a swell of dread. Silas stands over her, a silhouette against the dim work light, a pair of silver shears catching a dull gleam. He murmurs the scripted dialogue about her begging for the cut, his voice a low, icy thread in the quiet. As he begins, clipping neat, short strips along her forehead, the perspective shifts behind her. There, his hands work with a brutal, efficient rhythm, seizing thick clusters of her hair and shearing them off at the root. He tosses the heavy, dark mass to an assistant lingering in the shadows, sealing a fate she only now understands.
