MiraeForm lobby during evening foot traffic. A large wall news screen plays corporate merger news. Fictional company logos only: MiraeForm and Soryu Group.

Close on the lobby news screen. The stranger appears in a formal press photo with Soryu Group caption. This is the reveal point for his real identity.

The news segment continues. Yoon Se-ra appears in a public engagement photo beside Ji-woon. Ha-eun is below the screen, frozen.

A-ra reacts like an office worker hearing merger gossip. Ha-eun hides the personal shock.

The news changes to market numbers. Ha-eun remains standing beneath it after A-ra has moved out of frame.

Next Tuesday night. Ha-eun approaches Elevator B carrying the folded bloody handkerchief in her coat pocket like evidence.

Elevator doors open. Ji-woon waits inside in the same black coat, no phone visible this time.

The elevator doors close behind Ha-eun, sealing them inside. The mood is no longer secret refuge but courtroom.

Ji-woon does not lie. The direct admission strips away any chance for misunderstanding.

The elevator descends. Ji-woon names the rule as protection, but Ha-eun hears it as containment.

The confrontation hangs unresolved. The floor indicator glows between upper floors and lobby, echoing the first night but now poisoned by knowledge.
