Layton refuses. He knows a trap. But she dangles a key—a drawer full of real food. Cigarettes. And a ticket for one other passenger to leave the Tail. He looks at Zarah. He looks at Miles. The camera holds on his face. In 720p, you see the exact microsecond his survival instinct surrenders to something heavier: purpose.

Layton moves. Not heroically, but tactically. He nudges a woman named Zarah (Sheila Vand), his ex-wife, behind him. He whispers to his partner, Till. But it’s too late.

The transaction is crisp, desperate. You can see the hunger in the boy’s trembling fingers.
