## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A broken VCR hums in a damp rental house, July. Two girls laugh through the first seconds of a cursed tape. Then the screen glows green.

The same night, Yūri’s friend stiffens mid-laughter, eyes rolling back. Yūri sprints through corridors that aren’t on any map. Ghosts stalk—one from the well, one with a broken neck, both sharper than memory.

The ghosts don’t share the frame and neither does the director.

**Mood tags**: dread
