A restrained, cinematic **continuous shot** inside a small, dimly lit apartment at night. Two young Asian men are suddenly confronted by an unseen danger—suggested rather than shown—offscreen noise, a door slamming, glass breaking out of frame. In the confusion, one of them is injured, sitting on the floor, breathing unevenly, blood lightly visible on his sleeve but never emphasized. The other kneels beside him, hands trembling as he presses fabric against the wound. Their emotional connection is conveyed through proximity and silence: sustained eye contact, whispered reassurance, a hand gripping another too tightly. All dialogue is spoken softly in **Mandarin Chinese**, fragmented and overlapping, conveying fear and care rather than exposition. The camera remains fixed, observing at a slight distance, refusing spectacle. Low practical lighting, muted colors, natural skin tones, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain. Youth drama, queer intimacy under pressure. Arthouse cinema aesthetic inspired by Shunji Iwai and *The Wedding Banquet*. No text, no music cues, no narration.
