Photorealistic cinematic still. An eye-level wide frontal composition looking straight down a damp, narrow back alley. Near the center, an old weathered utility pole stands as a strong vertical spatial anchor, its front side facing the camera with cables climbing upward into darkness, directly behind and supporting the couple. Pressed against the pole, two figures form a dark, intertwined shape. C07O07 in a dark dress, a Korean adult woman, stands at three-quarter angle from the left, pinned helplessly against the rough wood of the pole with eyes closed. C04O04 in an outdoor jacket, a Korean adult man with a shadowed facial impression, stands at three-quarter angle from the right, his body weight pressing forcefully forward as he leans into her neck, his head and mouth placed at the side of her neck with his teeth visibly biting at that contact point, his eyes fixed on C07O07. A weak overhead sodium streetlight casts a muted amber glow and spill over their bodies, the pole, and the wet concrete below, while the surrounding urban edges fall into deep, cold blue-black shadows, leaving vast negative space around the subjects.

Photorealistic cinematic still. Positioned very close at neck height beside the couple, the frame is dominated by the violent physical contact at the old utility pole in the alley. In the sharp center, C04O04 in a dark outdoor jacket, a Korean adult man with a masculine face, short natural dark hair, and a shadowed facial impression, is seen in left profile, physically intertwined with C07O07 and exerting force with his jaw clamped firmly forward, looking down toward her neck as his teeth bite into it. Receiving the intense force in the lower side of the frame is C07O07 in a simple urban top, a Korean adult woman with an ordinary face, natural dark hair in a simple hairstyle, and an urban appearance, in right profile, pinned against the utility pole, visibly wounded with her neck violently arched back and eyes closed. The weak dim streetlight creates a thin amber spill over the attack, with crimson-dark skin tones sinking into the cold blue-black shadows of the alley. Behind them, the soft dark blur of the old weathered utility pole remains directly associated with their position, with a damp alley wall filling the out-of-focus background frame edges, maintaining the dark atmosphere.

Photorealistic cinematic still. C01O01 in a light casual outfit, a Korean young woman in her 20s, occupies the left-center foreground in right profile, eyes closed with a soft smile, her nose pressed affectionately into a shoulder. On the right, C05O05 in a domestic apron, a Korean middle-aged woman, is captured over-the-shoulder, her shoulder turned toward the daughter, eyes fixed on C01O01, her shoulder and apron edge anchoring the lower-right frame. The framing isolates their faces and shoulders, excluding the wider room, while the lower-right wide-frame edge still clearly includes C05O05’s apron fabric near her body and her wrist held near her hip; on that wrist, a round circular mark is plainly visible. The immediate background edge is [: a cramped indoor entryway just inside a closed door, muted domestic shadows, thin backlit kitchen steam drifting in the shallow depth]. Soft, golden daylight streams into the space, creating a tender and warm atmosphere gently illuminating the faces against the faint gray tones.

Photorealistic cinematic still. C05, a Korean middle-aged woman wearing a worn apron, has her wrist held near her hip in the middle-center foreground; the pre-existing round circular wrist mark is clearly visible on her skin. Captured in a tight macro detail at forearm height, only the forearm, skin texture, the distinct circular mark, and a slice of the apron’s fabric are visible within the frame, with the unseen figure looking off-screen. The existing wrist mark on the skin is illuminated by the soft golden daylight. The rest of the same room drops into a creamy blur, revealing a softly defocused old shoe cabinet edge and a muted entrance floor behind the arm. Faint residual kitchen steam drifts in the shallow depth of field, preserving the warm golden entryway lighting.

Photorealistic cinematic still. Low camera position at hand level, an insert framing focusing on the dead fingers of C16O10 in bloody homewear, an East Asian middle-aged woman. Her hand lies lifeless, fingers clenched tightly around P02, a crumpled old photograph taking up roughly a third of the center frame. The creased image-bearing front face of P02 is seen at an oblique angle, partly hidden by the pale dead fingers. On her wrist, a mark darkening toward red is visible, the marked skin surface facing partly upward toward the camera, tense under the dead skin. At the lower edge, a sliver of the floor is visible, marked with a dark, muted red bloodstain reflecting the dim ambient light. In the soft-focus background, the horizontal edge of a standard bed remains a faint blurred orientation, and above that bed edge the wall is visibly included with a red circle on it, the circle having a brush-painted quality as if drawn onto the wall with a brush. The bed edge sits below the wall mark as the clear spatial anchor beneath the red circle. The scene is enveloped in a heavy underlit darkness with a cool, sickly blue-black spill, while a weak amber-blue light glances across the knuckles and paper creases, gathering a faint crimson contamination around the wrist mark.

Photorealistic cinematic still. The bed edge below the wall mark sits in the lower-center foreground, remaining the spatial anchor beneath it. P03, a red circle on the wall above the bed, commands the upper-center background. The camera holds a locked-off upward angle at chest height, focused directly on the freshly painted brush-like crimson circle on the wall surface, as if drawn there with a brush. The mark radiates a wet, supernatural crimson glow. [L05: Heavy underlit darkness dominated by a sickly blue-black spill, with a cramped side wall corner turning away at the edge of the frame]. The rumpled, dim bed structure below remains stained by shadow, serving as a static physical anchor amidst the cold, heavy room haze.

Photorealistic cinematic still. P01, a contact-screen phone held before detective, occupies the middle-center foreground. Across the shared detective desk, C02 in practical dark-colored casual workwear, a Korean woman in her mid-40s, leans and reaches into the cluttered desk space rather than standing apart from it, thrusting her arm forward from the left edge; her body remains implied at a three-quarter angle from the right, and enough of her face is visibly included from a compatible front-left / three-quarter-right angle for a close-up crop, her eyes downcast off-screen toward the floor with an anxious, furrowed-brow expression. In the right rear, a Korean man in his 30s in a detective coat leans back in his chair at a three-quarter angle from the left, his eyes fixed on P01, his face softly focused. The lit front face of P01 points directly toward the camera, clearly showing a saved contact and number interface as it is being shown to the detective. Sickly, greenish-gray fluorescent lighting flattens the space, washing C02's sleeve and visible face in harsh ambient light and casting a cold light rectangle onto the man's upper face. [: the desktop plane recedes from the lower foreground, cluttered with papers and duty items but subdued, while a side-facing office monitor is visible in soft focus near the frame edge, its dull interface turned partly away from the camera].

Photorealistic cinematic still. C02O02 in a dark utilitarian jacket, a Korean middle-aged woman with natural dark hair and a practical hairstyle, at a three-quarter angle from the right, facing the camera from the front-left. The camera sits slightly below eye level in a tight close-up, keeping her furrowed brow line, tightened mouth, and dark collar dominant in the frame. She is leaning over and reaching into the detective desk space rather than standing apart from it, looking down with her composed facial features pulled into a tense, anxious expression and a sharp wrinkle carved between her brows. One hand holds up a lit phone contact screen in the desk space, its front face angled outward and showing 민숙’s saved contact number interface. The scene is illuminated by sickly greenish-gray fluorescent overhead lighting that casts a cold, sterile wash across her face and the fabric of her shoulder, with a faint amber desk-lamp glow barely touching the edge of her jaw. [: Out-of-focus cluttered detective desk edge cutting across the lower frame, dimly visible papers and duty items scattered across the office surface, soft blurred shapes of dull metal filing cabinets receding into the dark institutional depth behind her shoulder].

Photorealistic cinematic still. C01O01 in a light casual outfit, a Korean young woman in her early 20s with an oval youthful face and natural black medium-length hair, stands fully visible from head to toe in the middle third of the living room. Her body is positioned at a three-quarter angle from the left, caught mid-turn scanning the space, her eyes looking off-screen. She is dwarfed by the expansive negative space of the floor and wall around her. In the background, an open door leads to a darker hallway, and a clean dining table rests undisturbed, visibly holding a single upright framed photograph of the mother and 수리영; the frame faces the camera so its front glass and image are visible in the wide shot. Within the photograph only, the Korean middle-aged mother’s brightly smiling face is grotesquely smeared and melting downward behind the glass, while the distortion remains contained inside the framed photo and does not affect the room outside it. The dining table surface around the frame stays tidy, clean, dimly reflective, and undisturbed. Weak morning daylight filters through the closed window, casting dim gray-blue tones across the tidy environment, leaving corners underlit and establishing a flat, lifeless, and eerie atmosphere.

Photorealistic cinematic still. A close framing from a low angle at tabletop height, angled slightly upward. P11, a framed family photograph, stands upright on a tidy, undisturbed dining table, occupying most of the center frame, with its front image and glass clearly visible to camera. The glass surface of P11 displays a Korean middle-aged woman facing the camera, her eyes looking at the camera, captured in a brightly smiling portrait. Her smiling expression is grotesquely distorted, the facial features smeared and melting downward in a sickly crimson shadow. The hallucination is contained entirely within the photograph’s glass and frame, with no distortion occurring in the room outside it. The photograph rests on a dimly reflective dining table edge extending into the lower foreground. Weak, muted morning daylight falls across the tabletop in golden-gray tones. [: The quiet living area behind the photograph remains soft and entirely out of focus in dim, grayish, cool tones.]

Photorealistic cinematic still. P04, an active CCTV computer monitor with a thin dark bezel, sits on the desk in the lower foreground, only its upper front edge and a low wash of the screen face visible to the camera. The visible display is on but unusually dark and underexposed, reading as muddy, obscure CCTV playback with no clear or identifiable figures, just a dim dirty blue-green glow contained by the monitor’s dark physical edge. C01O01 in a dark casual shirt, a Korean young woman in her early 20s, stands behind the desk facing the camera, visible from the chest up. She is leaning over the monitor, her anxious gaze fixed off-screen toward the glowing display. P04 emits a cold, dirty blue-green digital underglow that heavily illuminates C01O01's face against the cramped brown-gray shadow of the office wall in the background. Shallow depth of field isolates the tension around her eyes, softening the background elements.

Photorealistic cinematic still. A close framing of P04, the same CCTV computer monitor switched on, its screen surface nearly filling the image with the dark bezel visible as a thin physical border along the edges. The screen emits a dim, cold, dirty blue-green digital glow and displays extremely dark, underexposed, muddy CCTV playback. Inside the playback, a Korean man and a Korean woman are reduced to indistinct, unreadable black blurred silhouettes in a muddy patch of darkness, identification impossible, both looking away with their backs partly to the camera. The image is heavily textured with active thick scanlines, green-gray digital smear, and harsh screen glare crushing the blacks, swallowing any human detail or spatial depth.

Photorealistic cinematic still. From the office entrance at eye level, the static wide frame looks down the empty central aisle toward the distant desk. C01O01 in standard casual clothing, a Korean young woman in her early 20s, is alone in the office, perched on the edge of the chair behind the far-center desk at a three-quarter angle from the left, looking down at the desktop with a shocked, pale, wide-eyed expression, absorbed and motionless. Rows of empty desks flank the central aisle on both sides like abandoned witness stands. The desk surface in front of her is messily covered with scattered enlarged murder-case photographs, visibly grim corpse images with missing flesh at the neck, shoulder, and face. The edge of the open door lightly frames the foreground. Flat fluorescent daylight leaves the office pale and official, sinking the vacant environment into a sterile gray-green stillness around the solitary figure.

Photorealistic cinematic still. C01O01 in a light casual outfit, a Korean young woman in her early 20s with an oval youthful face and natural medium-length black hair, alone in the dim sterile office and seated hunched over the desk/chair area, at three-quarter angle from the right. Her shocked, pale, widened eyes occupy the upper center of the frame, gazing down at the photographs. This is a tight close-up of her face, with her neck and shoulders partially visible. The lower edge of the frame barely catches the blurred tops of enlarged murder-case photographs lying face-up and messily scattered across the desktop, angled slightly upward; their horrific corpse imagery suggests missing flesh at the neck, shoulder, and face, but the graphic content remains cropped and out of focus. Harsh overhead fluorescents bleach her skin tone, while a faint sickly green reflection from the desk shadows her eyes, against a soft out-of-focus background of a dim, sterile office environment.
