@Daniel speaks to the man facing him. Preparatory inhale in the first beat, then delivers: "Excuse me — I'm looking for a woman named Vivienne Grant." Warm conversational mid-volume, American accent, clear enunciation on the name. Micro-pause after "Excuse me." Pace 3.5 words per second, natural contained jaw movement, eyes locked on the listener. Then without pause: "I believe she boarded this train in Chicago." Slightly slower, weight on "this train." Single blink between sentences. Small chin dip on "Chicago." Final beat: mouth closes, controlled exhale, small chest lower. Holds eye contact in silence. Waiting. Foreground shoulder bottom-right stays stationary throughout. Gold cord on cap holds its highlight. Camera: locked, organic micro-drift only. Focus on eyes throughout. Warm side-light holds constant. One dust mote drifts high-left at midpoint. Real time, unhurried. The final silence carries weight.
