Extreme close-up of two mugs on the porch step. Steam rises from both in slow curling wisps, drifting left with faint wind. A droplet of condensation rolls down the side of the chipped mug. In the soft background, the woman's bare feet shift slightly on the left, her toes curling against the cold wood. The man's boot on the right adjusts once. Neither person reaches for their mug. The steam keeps rising. A damp leaf near the mugs trembles in the wind. Camera locked with faint organic drift. Focus stays on the mugs and steam. The background figures stay soft. Real-time, still, intimate. AUDIO: the soft whistle of coastal wind across the porch. Steam barely audible. Wood creaking under a small shift of weight. Distant waves. A gull far away. No voices. No music. Diegetic only.
