## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Autumn fog clings to a stalled commuter train, a child’s red scarf snagged on the door handle.  
A detective finds his own badge at each crime scene, the victims arranged like figures in a half-remembered dream.  
The killer might just be Kurosawa doing David Lynch on a budget.

**Mood tags**: dread, mindfuck, paranoid, slow-burn
