One unbroken continuous shot, no cuts, 10 seconds. Camera starts on her hands gripping the hull edge, then pulls back and rises in a slow vertical crane movement revealing her face, continuing upward past her to the rafters and the grey window light above. Seconds 1-3: tight on her hands on the hull. Her fingers press into the wood, knuckles whitening. She is silent, processing what he just said. Camera slowly pulls back and tilts upward, revealing her forearms, her chest rising with a held breath, then her face — eyes fixed on him off-frame, jaw tight, something old and heavy behind her expression. She begins speaking, quiet, measured. Seconds 4-6: camera continues rising, now at her eye level, drifting slightly right in a slow arc. She looks away from him toward the window. Grey coastal light catches her face. Her voice shifts — softer, more vulnerable, like she's confessing something she didn't plan to say. Her hand lifts off the hull and touches her own collarbone where the rune tattoo sits beneath her shirt. Her fingers rest there unconsciously. Seconds 7-10: camera keeps rising above her, the angle shifting from eye level to slightly overhead, her face tilting up into the light as she speaks her last line almost to herself. The hull curves away below her. Through the window behind her: the fog, the grey sea, the vastness of everything she carries. She goes quiet. Her hand drops from her collarbone. She looks back at him off-frame. One slow blink. The faintest crack in her composure — not a tear, just the shine before one. Camera settles overhead, looking down at her small against the hull, the window light falling across her like a blade. She speaks throughout with long pauses between thoughts: "My mother had things like that too." Pause, looking away. "At least... I think she did. I don't actually remember her face anymore." Long pause, fingers on collarbone. "Isn't that strange? You forget the faces first. You'd think it'd be the voice." Very quiet, looking back at him: "You're lucky. That you remember her." Voice starts controlled and conversational, becomes unguarded in the middle — a slip she didn't intend — then lands quiet and sincere on the last line. She means it. She envies something ordinary about him and it shows. AUDIO: her voice natural in the shed space with wood reverb. The hull creaking under her released grip. Coastal wind through the window growing louder as camera rises. A halyard clinking on a mast outside. Her fingers touching fabric over her collarbone — a soft cloth sound. Her breathing between lines. No music. Diegetic only.
