OTS from behind @Daniel. @Vivienne stands at the open door. First 1.5s: @Vivienne's eyes are level — neutral-curious, polite knock response. Escaped auburn strand sways with train movement. Right hand on door edge. Calm breathing. @Daniel's foreground shoulder frozen. 1.5 to 2.5s: RECOGNITION LANDS. Her eyes widen — not theatrical, just honest — the pupils dilating, brow lifting three millimeters. Her mouth opens. A sharp small inhale — audible, a caught breath. Her chin pulls back by one centimeter — the micro-recoil of disbelief. Her right hand on the door edge grips tighter, fingertips pressing into the walnut. 2.5 to 4.0s: the surprise settles into something warmer. Her eyes soften from shock into recognition. Her brow relaxes from the lifted position. Her mouth stays open but the shape changes — from surprise-circle to the beginning of words forming. Her left hand rises from her side by approximately six inches — an involuntary half-reach toward him, then stops mid-air. She catches herself. 4.0 to 5.0s: her eyes glisten — not tears falling, just the brightness of emotion arriving. She takes one small step forward toward the threshold of the door, closing the distance by approximately ten inches. Her weight shifts onto her front foot. She is leaning toward him. Camera: slow push-in begins at 1.5s (recognition moment), drifting past @Daniel's shoulder. By 5.0s his shoulder has slid partially out of frame-left and her face fills center. Focus locked on her eyes throughout. Real time. The surprise must resolve into warmth, not fear.
