MiraeForm Design office at 11:32 PM. Empty desks, cold fluorescent lights, a blue campaign board still visible through conference room glass. Ha-eun stands in the foreground with face fully visible to camera, clutching her canvas tote after

Flashback inside a modern corporate conference room with a plain functional projector, no real brand logos. Boss Han presents Ha-eun's blue campaign on the wall while coworkers sit silent.

The meeting ends without comfort. A-ra almost reaches toward Ha-eun but stops when Boss Han is still nearby.

Ha-eun walks through the quiet office corridor toward Elevator B. The wall clock reads 11:47 PM. Harsh ceiling lights make long shadows.

Plain corporate elevator interior: brushed metal walls, narrow mirror strip, floor indicator, practical overhead light. No decorative luxury.

The elevator begins descending, then jams between floors. The practical overhead light flickers, and the floor indicator glitches between 22 and 23.

Inside the stalled elevator. The alarm button glows dull red. The stranger remains quiet, refusing both panic and comfort.

The emergency speaker crackles uselessly. Ha-eun tries to hold herself together, but the humiliation catches up in the sealed elevator.

The stranger extends a plain white tissue from a pocket pack without looking up from his phone. The gesture is practical, not sentimental.

The stalled elevator hums. Ha-eun wipes her face while the stranger gives her the dignity of not watching.

After minutes of silence, the stranger lifts his eyes from the phone. The elevator light cuts his face into hard shadow.

The stranger and Ha-eun face each other across the elevator. The floor indicator still hangs between 22 and 23.
