Same miniature diorama street and shallow macro depth of field, soft daylight. The fallen diagonal tree trunk wrapped in thin brass rings remains fixed in the background.
Man A (heavyset, gray beard, dark long coat, leather satchel) starts with head lowered and silent.
Man B (slimmer, worn dark coat, round top hat, cross-body bags, wooden walking stick) is approaching from behind the camera, mostly back-facing. From the very first frame, Man B is already walking forward at a steady pace (continuous walking, no pause, no hesitation), entering the scene from behind the camera.
Man A first lifts his head, looks directly toward Man B, and only then begins speaking. Man A speaks clearly in English with visible lip-sync, saying:
“Ah, Tuner Kagran. At last.
I trust your journey was… agreeable.
Ours, regrettably, has not been.”
Action sequence (one continuous shot):
Man A’s mouth stays closed until after he has fully raised his head and made eye contact toward Man B. While speaking the lines above, Man A keeps his gaze up toward Man B and speaks with clear mouth movement and slight pauses matching the punctuation.
Man B keeps walking forward during the speech and arrives near Man A.
After the final line, Man A steps forward and extends his left hand.
They shake hands once using their left hands only (firm but brief). Man B keeps the walking stick in his right hand during the handshake.
Immediately after the handshake, Man A turns his body toward the fallen trunk and gestures forward, then begins walking to lead Man B toward the trunk.
Man B follows alongside, holding the walking stick, as they approach the trunk together.
Keep the environment unchanged. No camera movement. No new characters. This scene has a very handheld feel. Do not add any extra words. Speak exactly the quoted lines only.
