@Marcus stands at a passenger row, beginning the name sweep. @Marcus addresses the seated woman with a small polite nod: "Good afternoon, ma'am. May I see your ticket and confirm your name, please?" Delivery: professional baritone, measured cadence, courteous. The "please" is genuine — this is a man who has said this ten thousand times with real warmth. @LedgerBook open in left hand, @Punch held at hip in right hand. Head tilts three degrees toward the passenger — attentive professional posture. The passenger looks up, slightly startled, then responds: "Of course. Margaret Holloway." Delivery: polite, slightly nervous, two-beat pause before her name. Small cooperative smile. @Marcus registers the name — not the one he's looking for. A small acknowledging nod. He makes a notation in @LedgerBook using the corner of @Punch as a finger guide. @Punch taps the ledger page once at the very end of the clip — the tap is the cut point to shot 3.11. Camera: locked, organic micro-drift. Soft two-way focus favoring @Marcus. Dust motes in the sun beam behind the passenger. Real time, professional pacing.
