CINEMATIC ESTABLISHING SHOT, empty or distant silhouette only. SCENE: A warm domestic living room at night in a modest Chinese apartment. A wooden study desk against one wall with a desk lamp casting warm amber light on textbooks and stationery. A sofa in the background. Bookshelves on the wall. The room feels orderly and controlled — everything in its place, nothing out of order. A family photo frame on the shelf. Warm overhead light. The overall feeling is of a home that looks perfect on the surface but feels emotionally cold underneath. CINEMATOGRAPHY: medium wide establishing shot, slight side angle, three-layer depth — desk foreground, living area midground, wall shelves background. LIGHTING: warm desk lamp 3000K as key light, warm ceiling light as fill, soft warm shadows, no harsh contrast. COLOR TONE: warm amber and golden tones, orange-yellow palette, orderly and slightly suffocating. STYLE: dreamlike surreal, ethereal atmosphere, Wong Kar-wai inspired saturated warm tones, impressionistic color, hazy luminous quality, 35mm film grain, Kodak Vision3, anamorphic bokeh. ASPECT RATIO: 16:9. NEGATIVE: people in focus, text, watermark, modern minimalist design, cold colors, cartoon, anime.

CINEMATIC ESTABLISHING SHOT, empty location. SCENE: A modern corporate office and meeting room in daytime. Open plan office with rows of workstations, computer monitors, fluorescent overhead lighting. A glass-walled meeting room visible in the background. The atmosphere is sterile, cold, and oppressive. Papers stacked on desks, notification pop-ups visible on screens. The overall feeling is of a place that drains human emotion — cold white light, gray cubicle walls, the hum of air conditioning. Deep night version: same office completely empty except for one desk with a glowing computer screen, notification messages filling the display, surrounded by darkness. CINEMATOGRAPHY: wide establishing shot, slightly high angle, cold clinical composition, leading lines of desks and cubicles. LIGHTING: cold fluorescent white overhead light 5500K, blue-white computer screen glow as secondary light, no warm tones. COLOR TONE: cold white, steel gray, blue-white screen light, desaturated, clinical. STYLE: dreamlike surreal, colored gel lighting, Wong Kar-wai inspired tones but cold version, hazy luminous quality, 35mm film grain, Kodak Vision3, anamorphic bokeh, cool blue-gray palette.

STORYBOARD FRAME S01-01. LOCATION CONSISTENCY: same city alleyway as {{Image 1}} , same lighting direction, same color temperature, same spatial layout — neon magenta left, cold blue right, warm amber at far end, rain-slicked wet pavement reflections. SCENE: Deep night city. Extreme wide shot aerial view looking slightly down at a rain-soaked urban street. Crowds of pedestrians moving in all directions, all walking with heads down, no eye contact, faces blank and emotionally flat. Neon signs in red, pink, blue, cyan bleed onto the wet pavement creating mirror reflections. The entire street glows with saturated color. No one stands still. Everyone moves with mechanical efficiency. CINEMATOGRAPHY: extreme wide shot (EWS), slightly high angle bird's eye, slow truck right motion implied, 24mm wide angle deep focus, all figures in sharp focus, rule of thirds composition, city fills the frame edge to edge. LIGHTING: multi-colored neon diffuse light from all directions, magenta dominant left, electric blue right, warm amber street lamps scattered, wet pavement reflects all colors, no single key light direction — city is the light source. COLOR TONE: saturated magenta and cyan, warm amber accents, rain reflections doubling all colors, rich contrast, deep shadows between buildings.

Reference: {{Image 1}} . LOCATION CONSISTENCY: same counter as {{Image 2}} , same warm amber overhead light, cold blue rim light on edge. SCENE: Extreme close-up of the staff member's face. She has just finished speaking — lips closed, no expression change whatsoever. Her eyes look directly forward at a point that doesn't exist. Not waiting, not expecting — just existing. Like the rules themselves: cold, fair, eternal. The warm amber light from above creates shallow shadows in her eye sockets. A thin cold blue rim light catches the edge of her face and the bun of her hair from behind. CINEMATOGRAPHY: tight close-up, eye-level, locked off static, 135mm extreme shallow depth of field — face fills frame, eyes on upper third line, background pure bokeh. LIGHTING: warm amber top light creating eye socket shadows, thin cold blue rim light from behind catching face edge and hair — same as {{Image 2}} lighting logic. COLOR TONE: warm amber face, cool ivory skin, cold blue edge rim, deep background bokeh.

Reference: . LOCATION CONSISTENCY: same station interior as , warm amber light. SCENE: Extreme close-up of 七七's face — the moment of transformation. All the liveliness, childlike energy, and warmth have drained from her eyes in an instant. Her face is still her face, but the person behind it is gone. Her expression is now perfectly flat — not sad, not relieved, just empty and compliant. Her eyes look forward with the same blankness as the staff member. The warm amber light still falls on her face but now her skin looks cooler, more muted, as if the warmth has been taken from the inside. CINEMATOGRAPHY: extreme close-up, eye-level, locked off static, 135mm extreme shallow depth of field — eyes fill the upper portion of frame, slight cool color shift on skin visible. LIGHTING: warm amber overhead, but skin tone slightly cooled and desaturated compared to earlier shots — same station as but with subtle cool grade on face. COLOR TONE: warm amber ambient, cooled and desaturated face, eyes flat and empty. STYLE: dreamlike surreal, colored gel lighting, Wong Kar-wai inspired saturated tones, impressionistic color, hazy luminous quality, anamorphic bokeh, 35mm film grain, Kodak Vision3, cinematic color grading.

LOCATION CONSISTENCY: same subway car as , cold white fluorescent overhead, crowded passengers, vertical center pole. SCENE: FLASHBACK. Medium shot. The subway car is packed with commuters — a blurred mass of dark clothing and downturned heads. 九七 stands with her back against the vertical center pole, eyes closed, head tilted slightly back. Her face is the picture of complete depletion — not dramatic, just empty and done. The cold white overhead light falls on her, making her look washed out. The car sways slightly. CINEMATOGRAPHY: medium shot, eye-level, locked off static with subtle carriage sway, 85mm shallow depth of field — 九七 sharp and clear, surrounding crowd blurred into dark mass.

STORYBOARD FRAME S05-10. 九七 sits alone on her bed in the dark — city night light through window. CHARACTER LOCK — 九七 {{Image 1}} : young Chinese woman 23-25, oval face, large dark eyes, long straight black hair, white shirt or simple home clothes. Same person as reference image. LOCATION CONSISTENCY: same bedroom as {{Image 2}} , cold blue city night light from window, deep darkness, single bed. SCENE: Medium shot from the side. 九七 sits alone on the edge of her bed in the dark room. She has not turned on any lights. The city night light bleeds through the curtain gap, casting a cold blue outline on her silhouette and the side of her face. She sits upright, hands in lap, staring at nothing. She is thinking about today — all the pressure, all the dismissals — but she feels nothing. The room is very still.

SCENE: Medium shot. 七七 is seated AT the desk, her body correctly positioned behind the desk surface — the desk is in front of her at natural sitting height, her torso above the desk edge, arms resting naturally on the desk surface as she writes. The perspective is correct: desk surface recedes away from camera at natural angle, child's body is properly seated behind it, feet on floor below. Her posture is perfectly upright, movements measured and proper. On the sofa in the background, two adult figures (parents, slightly out of focus) sit and chat with satisfied expressions. The warm amber desk lamp illuminates 七七's workspace from the side. Her eyes are directed at the homework but are empty. PERSPECTIVE RULES: The desk surface must be at correct seated height relative to the child's body. The child's waist and lap are BEHIND and BELOW the desk surface.

The atmosphere is claustrophobic, exhausting, anonymous — everyone trapped in their own silence. CINEMATOGRAPHY: medium wide shot, slightly low angle, vertical pole as leading line, passengers as blurred surrounding mass, three-layer depth. LIGHTING: cold fluorescent overhead 5500K, harsh even light, no shadows, flat and draining. COLOR TONE: cold white-gray, desaturated, blue-white fluorescent cast, slightly overexposed highlights.

SCENE: The iron door is slowly being pushed open from outside. A thin crack of cold blue neon light widens. The small girl 七七 squeezes through the gap, head down, her thin figure silhouetted against the outside neon. She enters carefully, timidly — her back is straight but her shoulders are pulled inward, like she is trying to take up as little space as possible. The warm amber interior light begins to fall on her pink hoodie as she steps in. She does not look up. CINEMATOGRAPHY: full shot, eye-level side angle, locked off static, 50mm medium depth of field.

The background is pure dark bokeh. CINEMATOGRAPHY: extreme close-up, slight high angle overhead, slow push in then freeze implied, 135mm extreme shallow depth of field — fingertips in razor-sharp focus, everything else pure dark bokeh.

Same person as reference image. LOCATION CONSISTENCY: same station interior as , warm amber overhead, multicolor jar bokeh background. SCENE: Close-up of 九七's face as she raises her eyes toward the counter. Her voice is hoarse and dry. Her eyes carry exhaustion and something that has been held back for too long — not tears, but the residue of all the tears that were never allowed.

The glass jars still pulse with their soft multicolored lights — warm white, cold blue, pale gold, soft pink. The room is completely still and silent. Like a museum after closing, or a library after everyone has gone home. The jars keep glowing, indifferent to the absence of people. The space feels simultaneously warm and profoundly cold. CINEMATOGRAPHY: wide establishing shot, eye-level, locked off static, 28mm wide angle deep focus, strong symmetrical leading lines from shelves to empty counter. Same composition as S02-01 but now the counter is empty — the absence is the subject.

Reference: {{Image 1}} . LOCATION CONSISTENCY: same station interior as {{Image 2}} , warm amber light, glass jar shelves in background bokeh. SCENE: Close-up of 七七's face as she slowly raises her head. Her eyes dart sideways — she cannot look directly at the shelves of glass jars, cannot look at the counter. Her gaze floats between the floor and the air, evasive and restless. Beneath her eyes, there is something heavy — years of accumulated exhaustion and suppressed hurt, like water that has been held back too long without overflowing.

The corners of her mouth have moved into a slight upward curve — not a smile, just the shape of compliance. Her eyes are completely empty.

CINEMATIC ESTABLISHING SHOT, empty location, no people. SCENE: Interior of a minimalist emotion recycling station at night. A long rectangular room with extremely high ceilings. Ceiling hung with several old warm amber pendant lamps casting soft pools of light. Four walls lined floor-to-ceiling with wooden shelving units, densely packed with sealed transparent glass jars. Inside each jar, tiny floating particles of light glow in different colors — warm white, cold blue, pale gold, soft pink, faint green — each one drifting slowly like a trapped memory.

STORYBOARD FRAME S01-04. LOCATION CONSISTENCY: same alleyway as {{Image 1}} , far end of alley, same warm amber lamp overhead, same wet pavement. SCENE: A weathered iron door at the end of a dark alley, centered in frame. The door is old, rusted, with no sign, no doorbell, no handle visible — just age and rust. On the wall to the right of the door, five Chinese characters are faintly carved into the concrete surface: 情绪回收站. The carving is shallow, done by hand, barely visible — like someone scratched it slowly with a fingernail. A warm amber street lamp from above casts a single beam of light, illuminating the door and the carved characters, casting thin shadows in the grooves of the letters. The door is closed. Perfectly still. CINEMATOGRAPHY: medium long shot (MLS), eye-level, slow push in then freeze implied, 85mm shallow depth of field, iron door and carved text sharp, alley walls softly out of focus.

The living room bathed in warm overexposed golden light. Little 七七 is jumping and bouncing joyfully, holding a toy tightly, laughing with her whole face — eyes curved into crescents, mouth wide open, pure uninhibited delight. Her whole body is laughing, not just her face. Her hair bounces as she jumps. The room is filled with the energy of her joy.

CINEMATOGRAPHY: medium long shot, eye-level with slight handheld movement following her bounce, 50mm medium depth of field, warm living room in soft focus background. Dynamic composition following her movement. LIGHTING: warm overexposed window light and ceiling light, 3000K, soft warm shadows, slightly blown highlights — nostalgic memory quality.

LOCATION CONSISTENCY: same station interior as {{Image 2}} , warm amber overhead light. SCENE: Close-up of 九七's face as she slowly raises her head. Her eyes carry a specific adult exhaustion — not from lack of sleep, but from being completely depleted. Something is still struggling in her gaze, something that hasn't given up yet but is very close. Her throat looks dry. The warm amber light falls on her face, but her skin looks slightly cooler and more drained than the warm light should suggest.

LOCATION CONSISTENCY: same station interior as , warm amber light, multicolor jar bokeh. SCENE: Tight close-up of 九七's face. Her eyes are steady and resolved — the determination of someone who has been forced to grow up too fast and is now making a decision from exhaustion rather than desire. Her gaze is direct and forward. There is no joy in this decision, only a tired finality. The warm amber light catches her face, but her expression keeps it cold.

SCENE: Extreme close-up overhead shot of an open photo album on the desk. The small hand of a child (七七 {{Image 1}} ) rests motionless on an open page.

STORYBOARD FRAME S06-03. Final shot — camera rises and pulls back to reveal the full wall of glowing jars, a galaxy of contained emotions. LOCATION CONSISTENCY: same station interior as {{Image 1}} , same warm amber pendant lamps, same floor-to-ceiling shelves of glass jars. SCENE: The camera begins close on the two special jars (warm white and cold blue) then slowly rises and pulls back — the shelves expand outward, more and more jars come into frame. Hundreds, then thousands of glass jars, each glowing with its own color and rhythm. Warm white, cold blue, pale gold, soft pink, faint green, dusty violet — every color of human emotion, sealed and stored. The whole wall becomes a galaxy of tiny lights, like an inverted night sky. The station is vast and full and silent. This is where all the feelings that were never allowed to exist now live forever. CINEMATOGRAPHY: starts extreme close-up then slow crane up and pull out to wide establishing shot, 24mm wide angle deep focus, symmetrical composition, all jars in focus, ceiling lamps visible at top, floor reflections at bottom.

CINEMATIC ESTABLISHING SHOT, empty location, no foreground characters in focus. SCENE: Deep night city alleyway in a modern Asian metropolis. A narrow lane between two towering buildings, wet rain-slicked pavement reflecting neon lights. At the far end of the alley, a single weathered iron door with no sign, no handle visible, just rust and age. On the wall beside it, five Chinese characters faintly carved into the concrete: 情绪回收站. A single warm amber street lamp overhead casts a soft halo in the humid air. The entrance of the alley frames the shot with the two building walls as natural borders. CINEMATOGRAPHY: wide establishing shot, rule of thirds, deep focus, leading lines of alley walls converging toward the iron door, three-layer depth — neon-lit street entrance foreground, dark wet alley midground, amber-lit iron door background. LIGHTING: exterior neon light spill from street (magenta and electric blue) bleeds into alley entrance; warm amber 2800K street lamp at far end creates strong warm-cool contrast; wet pavement reflects both light sources.

STORYBOARD FRAME S01-05. LOCATION CONSISTENCY: same iron door as S01-04, same warm amber overhead light, same alley setting as {{Image 1}} . SCENE: Extreme close-up of an old padlock on the iron door. The padlock is heavy, iron-gray, with shallow scratch marks on its body — as if countless hands have touched it and let go. A single thin highlight of warm amber light runs across the top of the lock body. The background is completely dark, bokeh. The lock is perfectly still, the door sealed shut. The scratches on the lock tell stories of people who came and stayed, or came and left. CINEMATOGRAPHY: extreme close-up (ECU), eye-level, locked off static, 135mm extreme shallow depth of field — only the lock body in sharp focus, everything else pure bokeh. Lock fills center of frame, slight negative space on both sides. LIGHTING: single warm amber point light from above (street lamp), creating one thin highlight line across lock top, rest of lock in shadow with subtle ambient fill. Extremely low key.

LOCATION CONSISTENCY: same warm living room as , sofa in background, warm amber home lighting. SCENE: FLASHBACK POV. Seven-seven's first-person view looking slightly upward at her mother sitting on the sofa. The mother has just snapped her attention toward the camera (七七's direction). Her brow is deeply furrowed, eyes sharp and cold. Her right hand is raised, palm facing outward — a firm, commanding gesture to STOP. Her expression is not angry but absolutely non-negotiable. The warm room light behind her creates a slight backlight halo, but her face is in controlled shadow, eyes cold. This is the wall that stops all joy. CINEMATOGRAPHY: medium close-up, slightly low angle (child's POV looking up), locked off static with subtle handheld breathing, 85mm shallow depth of field — mother's face and raised hand sharp, sofa background soft. Mother centered in frame, hand gesture prominent. LIGHTING: warm amber room light from behind mother creating slight backlight, her face slightly underlit — cold expression emphasized by shadow. Same palette as but mother's face cooled. COLOR TONE: warm amber room, mother's face cooled and shadowed, raised hand highlighted.

After a moment of silence, the internal struggle in her eyes has faded — replaced by a quiet, absolute resolve. She raises her eyes to look directly forward.

The warm amber light catches the slight redness at her eye corners. CINEMATOGRAPHY: close-up to tight close-up, eye-level, locked off static, 85mm shallow depth of field — face fills frame, eyes on upper third line, slight redness at eye corners visible.

LOCATION CONSISTENCY: same office as , cold white fluorescent lighting, open plan office, colleagues visible in background. SCENE: FLASHBACK. Over-the-shoulder shot from behind 九七 looking toward the male boss. The boss stands with his body turned slightly sideways, waving his hand dismissively, frowning deeply — his expression is contemptuous and authoritative. Colleagues in the background turn to look. In the foreground, 九七's shoulder and the back of her head occupy the lower-left frame. Her hand, visible at her side, is gripping a stack of papers so tightly her knuckles are white. CINEMATOGRAPHY: medium shot over-the-shoulder, eye-level, locked off static, 85mm shallow depth of field — boss sharp, 九七's back/shoulder in foreground soft, colleagues background blurred. Boss occupies right two-thirds of frame. LIGHTING: cold white fluorescent overhead 5500K, clinical and harsh — same as .

STORYBOARD FRAME S05-06. 七七 tries to smile — produces only a stiff, hollow grimace. CHARACTER LOCK — 七七 : young Chinese girl 7-8 years old, round face, large dark eyes, star hair clips, pink hoodie. Same person as reference image. LOCATION CONSISTENCY: same warm home desk as , warm amber desk lamp. SCENE: Extreme close-up of 七七's face. She is trying — visibly trying — to make herself smile. Her mouth corners have been pulled upward, but the result is wrong: the smile is stiff and mechanical, like a crease folded into paper. There is no warmth in it, no spontaneity. Her eyes do not participate at all — they remain flat and empty, completely disconnected from the mouth below. This is the saddest image in the film: a child who has forgotten how to smile genuinely. CINEMATOGRAPHY: extreme close-up, eye-level, slow push in then freeze implied, 135mm extreme shallow depth of field — face fills frame, the disconnect between empty eyes and forced mouth corners is the key visual.

STORYBOARD FRAME S02-01. LOCATION CONSISTENCY: same interior as {{Image 1}} , same lighting direction, same color temperature, same spatial layout — warm amber pendant lamps overhead, floor-to-ceiling shelves on both walls, glass jars with glowing colored light particles, bare concrete floor, wooden counter at far end. SCENE: Wide establishing shot of the emotion recycling station interior. Camera positioned just inside the entrance, looking deep into the space. The room stretches back in perfect symmetry — shelves on both sides lined with hundreds of sealed glass jars, each containing softly glowing particles of light in different colors: warm white, cold blue, pale gold, soft pink. The amber pendant lamps cast warm pools of light. At the very far end, a simple wooden counter, empty. The space feels simultaneously warm and deeply cold — like a library of lost feelings. CINEMATOGRAPHY: wide establishing shot, eye-level slightly upward, slow push in motion implied, 28mm wide angle deep focus, strong symmetrical leading lines from shelves converging to counter, three-layer depth.

LOCATION CONSISTENCY: same warm living room as . SCENE: FLASHBACK. Close-up of 七七's face — the exact moment her smile freezes. Her mouth is still slightly upturned from laughing, but her eyes have gone completely dark — the light inside them has been switched off in an instant. Her face is suspended between the laugh that was and the blankness that follows. She doesn't know what to do with her face. Her body has gone completely still, mid-movement, frozen. The warm room light still falls on her but something cold has entered. CINEMATOGRAPHY: close-up to tight close-up, eye-level, locked off static, 85mm shallow depth of field — face fills frame, eyes on upper third line. The contrast between the upturned mouth and the dead eyes is the key visual.

Same person as reference image. LOCATION CONSISTENCY: same office as , cold white fluorescent lighting. SCENE: FLASHBACK. Close-up of 九七's face. Her head is slightly bowed, eyes looking down. Her eyes have gone red at the rims — tears are forming but she is fighting them back with everything she has. Her lower lip is caught between her teeth, bitten hard to stop herself from breaking down. The cold white office light makes her skin look pale and drained. This is the face of someone swallowing something that should not be swallowed.

The cold blue light swirls inside the sealed jar, glowing with faint cold luminescence. The contrast between the cold blue light in the jar and the warm amber station environment creates a striking visual. The jar sits on the counter surface, the blue light within it slowly rotating, permanently contained. Surrounding bokeh from other jars glows warmly in the background.

The male boss stands at the front, pointing at a presentation, his expression dismissive and pressuring. 九七 sits at the meeting table, hands folded, expression perfectly neutral and composed — no trace of distress, no reaction. Colleagues around the table are tense, watching. 九七 is the calmest person in the room, but it is the calm of emptiness.

CINEMATIC ESTABLISHING SHOT, empty location, no people. SCENE: A young woman's bedroom late at night in a Chinese city apartment. Small and simply furnished — a single bed with plain white sheets, a desk with a closed laptop, curtains slightly open. City night light bleeds through the window gap, casting cold blue-white light across the bed and floor. The room is dark except for this window light. The atmosphere is quiet, still, and hollow — the kind of silence that feels heavier than noise. A glass of water on the desk. Nothing out of place, everything orderly, but the room feels emotionally empty. CINEMATOGRAPHY: medium wide establishing shot, slightly low angle, window as light source anchor, bed as focal point, three-layer depth — desk foreground, bed midground, window background.

SCENE: Extreme close-up tracking shot across the glass jars on the shelves. Single jar in sharp focus, others blurred into bokeh light orbs. The jar in focus contains softly drifting light particles — some warm white like a child's laughter, some cold blue like a held-back tear, some pale gold like a moment of pride. The light inside moves slowly, trapped and drifting. The jar is sealed tight. Around it, other jars glow in soft bokeh — a galaxy of contained emotions. CINEMATOGRAPHY: tight close-up to extreme close-up, eye-level, slow truck right motion implied, 135mm extreme shallow depth of field — one jar sharp, surrounding jars pure bokeh light orbs. Jar fills center-left of frame. LIGHTING: glass jar self-glow as primary light source, warm amber ambient from pendant lamps as fill — same as {{Image 1}} .

LOCATION CONSISTENCY: same office as but deep night — empty office, only 九七's workstation lit by computer screen blue-white light, all other areas dark. SCENE: FLASHBACK. Medium shot from the side at 45 degrees. The entire open-plan office is dark and empty. Only 九七 remains, sitting alone at her workstation. The computer screen casts cold blue-white light on her face and hands. The screen is filled with notification pop-ups and work messages. Her hands rest on the keyboard but are not typing. Her shoulders are slightly caved in, her posture the shape of someone slowly being crushed. She stares at the screen, not moving.

Same person as reference image. LOCATION CONSISTENCY: same station interior as , warm amber light. SCENE: Medium shot of 九七 from the side. The moment the extraction is complete, her shoulders — which have been tense and slightly raised for years — drop in an instant. Not with relief, but with emptiness. She stands straighter now, but it is the straightness of a mannequin, not a person. Her face, seen in profile, has shed all its exhaustion and all its emotion simultaneously. The warm amber light still falls on her but her skin looks cooled and muted.

Currently nodding with a look of genuine approval. Same person as reference image. LOCATION CONSISTENCY: same meeting room as , cold white fluorescent light. SCENE: Close-up of the male boss nodding. His expression is one of genuine, if cold, approval — not warm praise, but the recognition of a useful tool. He looks at 九七 (camera direction) with a satisfied nod.

Same person as reference image. LOCATION CONSISTENCY: same bedroom as , cold blue city night light, deep darkness. SCENE: Extreme close-up of 九七's face. She raises one hand and gently touches the area under her eye with her fingertip. Her eye is dry — completely dry. No redness, no moisture, no evidence that tears ever existed there.

Her eye is clean and empty, like a space where something used to live.

Her face is completely expressionless — not cold, not warm, just empty. Like a piece of paper with nothing written on it. Warm amber light falls from directly above, casting shallow shadows under her brow bones, making her eyes look even more still. Behind her, the shelves of glowing jars are softly out of focus, creating a halo of multicolored bokeh light around her figure.

The father reaches out and takes the award paper from the child's hands — his hand is extended, pulling the paper away. His expression is stern and controlled, not angry but absolutely authoritative. He is looking directly at the camera (七七) with a cold, lecturing gaze. His other hand taps the table once — sit down and listen. The warm home light is behind him, his face in controlled shadow.

She gives a small, measured nod in response to the boss's praise. Her expression is perfectly neutral — no joy, no pride, no relief. Being praised feels exactly the same as being criticized.
