Halfway through, Maya leans over my shoulder.
“Hey,” she says. “Can you look at this cut? Something feels off.”
I slide my chair over and watch the sequence twice.
“Trim three seconds here,” I say, pointing. “Let the pause breathe before the reaction shot.”
She adjusts it, plays it back.
“…Yeah,” she says. “That’s better.”
She doesn’t elaborate.
When my hour’s up, I log out and stretch, rolling my shoulders. I pack slowly, not because I’m stalling, but because there’s nowhere I need to rush to.
