Wide exterior shot, grey overcast morning. A narrow old-city street — wet cobblestones, stone buildings on both sides, a sign for a dry goods merchant at ground level. On the second floor of the building: tall windows, dark curtains. A bras

Interior: the lawyer's office. Austere and organized — the large dark wood desk is covered in papers and ledgers, but in neat stacks. One tall window, alley view, grey morning light. A single oil lamp burning despite the daylight. Baek Seun

TOP: The will document, filling the panel as a diegetic prop. Formal letterhead at the top: a hand-drawn Renatus crest (horse, crescent moon). Below it in neat precise handwriting: 'WILL AND TESTAMENT of Renatus Vael, youngest son of House

TOP: Baek at the desk, turning to a new page of the document. His posture is identical to before — this is not a moment of emotion for him. He adjusts his spectacles, finds the line. His face is frontal and completely neutral. BOTTOM: Joon-

The will document, Section Three, close enough to read the handwriting. The text reads: 'SECTION THREE — To the soul currently inhabiting this body: I am aware you are not the person born here. I arrived in this body two years ago from a wo

TOP: Extreme close-up on Joon-Ho's face — gone completely still. Not fear, not panic. The still-face of a man whose brain has received information it cannot immediately process. Eyes very focused, jaw fractionally tighter. Dark circles, sho

TOP: Two-shot — Joon-Ho in the foreground chair, half-turned. Aldric (the elderly steward, grey hair, watchful) stands behind him. Their eyes meet. Aldric's expression is patient — a man who has been waiting for this exact moment and is not

Wide shot of the office. Baek reading the last section, expression unchanged — he is almost done, he can see the end of the document, he will finish and hand it over and go back to his other files. His thin face is fully visible, the glasse

TOP: Baek reaching into the leather document case, removing three sealed envelopes, placing them on the edge of the desk. He places them in order. His face shows nothing. This is a routine step in the reading. Joon-Ho in the foreground look

TOP: Joon-Ho's hands lifting the third envelope and holding it so he can read the address: 'ENVELOPE THREE — You will open this last. I know.' Behind the envelope, his face is partially visible — the controlled non-expression of a man under

Wide shot from inside the office. Joon-Ho in the doorway, back to camera — we see the set of his shoulders, the dark waistcoat, the black hair, the three envelopes barely visible as a shape in his coat pocket. He is walking into the grey mo
