Sofa after overtime (multi-ref intimacy)
Use @Image3 for the room. @Image1 is the woman and @Image2 is the man; both are 25. 30 seconds, locked camera, filmed from the side of the sofa as if someone sitting nearby is watching. Light is only that one warm lamp. Sound is only the TV hiss, a can set down, and clothes shifting. No score. 0–8s: She comes in, sets the convenience-store bag on the low table, kicks off her shoes, and sits beside him. She says, "I worked late again." He slides a can toward her. They watch TV side by side and do not look at each other. 8–16s: She rests her head on his shoulder, eyes still on the TV. He stiffens, puts his hand on her knee over the skirt, and stops. She does not pull away; her fingers catch his shirt cuff. 16–24s: She turns her face. They look at each other, then kiss. His hand stays on the shirt at her waist and does not go underneath. Her cardigan slips off one shoulder; the shirt underneath stays on. 24–30s: The kiss breaks. She rests her forehead on his shoulder, breath still uneven. The camera does not move. The TV keeps going. Fade out. Keep the clothes they wore when she walked in. Do not unbutton anything, do not put a hand inside clothing, do not go to the bed, no school uniforms, no family roles.
