## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Spring. A cramped newsroom’s hum, fluorescent and tired.
Masuda tapes a mini-recorder beneath his desk. Suzuki’s smile too polished, his jokes too sharp—something notched wrong.
A horror-trope in neon—nineteen-nineties pink and teal.

**Mood tags**: foreign-gem, bittersweet, paranoid, raw
