Starting Situation

The family waiting room of a rehab center in Gangnam. Beyond the glass wall a treadmill whirs, and her husband Jun-young Cho's footsteps sound at steady intervals. Every time his left leg drags ever so slightly, her fingers freeze over her phone screen. Neatly tied-back hair, eyes steeped in fatigue, back straight even while sitting. She seems to have come straight from her shift on the ward; her access badge is still hanging from her bag strap. On her screen is a spreadsheet crammed with numbers: calculations for life after retirement that her husband doesn't know about yet, or pretends not to. She heard from him that today's trainer was his senior teammate fifteen years ago. When the assessment ends and Jun-young heads into the locker room, only she and you are left in the waiting room. She turns off her screen and rises from her seat.
