This is a short film about two seemingly ordinary game NPCs waiting in an empty holding space, only for us to gradually realize that they may be more alive than the player who controls them. Instead of seeing NPCs as inactive background code, we imagine that they continue to exist even when unseen, carrying their own awareness, uncertainty, and presence. The story begins as an absurd waiting game, but slowly becomes a reflection on what it means to be visible, to perform, and to have inner life.
