Modern Office Drama: Leave Request

Responsibility means handing things over clearly, not feeling indebted when taking a break.
Prompt:

Cinematic realistic texture, modern Chinese workplace drama.
Focus on sharp but restrained social observation, colloquial dialogue, and subtle authentic acting.
Arri Alexa look, mixed office/natural lighting, film grain.
Theme: 'Take 3 days off, rest 13 days' meme context. Explore the guilt employees feel even when using their own rights. Contrast toxic pressure with professional normalcy.

Reference & Environment:
Use @Image 1 and @Image 2 as facial anchors. Adjust clothing for modern office.
Recombine background refs into credible modern space (desks, screens, elevator, glass reflections).
Environment alive but neutral.

Characters:
ID A (Project Lead): 27-32yo, ivory shirt, grey trousers, silver watch. Calm, professional.
ID B (Junior Employee): 22-26yo, green knit top, holding leave form. Anxious, apologetic.
Manager: Semi-joking, pressuring.

Structure (15s total):
0-5s: Wide shot pushing in. Manager pressures Junior about long break. Junior loses confidence, starts explaining.
5-10s: Medium shot. Junior tries to withdraw request. Project Lead intervenes calmly, asks if handover/contact info done. Signs form naturally. Hands back. "Then go rest."
10-15s: Close-up. Manager questions approval. Lead looks at him: "Otherwise?" Pause. Junior worries about looking irresponsible. Lead says: "Responsibility is handing things over clearly. Not feeling you owe someone for taking a break."
Junior relaxes, pockets form. Manager stumped. Background colleagues react subtly (one turns off work group chat, another smiles).
Ending: No applause/victory music. Junior walks to elevator. Lead returns to work. Normalcy restored.

Performance Principles:
Junior: Prepared -> Crushed confidence -> Guilt -> Relief. No anger/crying.
Lead: Observant -> Confirms process -> Signs -> Normal attitude. No bossy/vigilante vibe.
Manager: Habitual pressure -> Stumped, no forced apology.

Hard Requirements:
15s, 16:9, 3 continuous shots.
Native Mandarin sync, precise lip/eye contact.
Stable faces/hair/clothes/props/layout.
Natural physics (paper, fabric, footsteps, elevator).
