Spread 14 · Character

“I keep the light because the sea forgot how.”

Cam A Window CU

Music ref: accordion held under water · 62 BPM

“Call it home until the ring moves past us.”

Orbit Silhouette

Music ref: single cello harmonic · no resolve

Color · Void Wash

Blocking: actors walk as if gravity is a rumor.

Reflection: Treat the silence like a cut we cannot afford to cover with score.

Macro City Wide

Music ref: piano felt muted · paper rustle sync
