Stop-motion puppet animation, 12fps, Steve Burton claymation style, handcrafted aesthetic, frame-by-frame jerky movement, visible clay textures and wool fibers, color palette now dominated by cold corpse-blue and deep shadows, 1990s Soviet apartment living room. NO SPECTRAL HANDS, NO VAPOR, NO GHOSTS. ONLY WRONG SHADOWS, WRONG LIGHT, AND SPREADING STAINS. CAMERA: the slow push-in from Scene 3 continues, moving forward another 5% over 5 seconds. Movement is smooth and steady, frame is tighter and more claustrophobic. Background wallpaper beginning to soften slightly as focus stays locked on girl's face. ROOM: Same living room — textured wallpaper (flowers now faintly resembling faces in dim light), linoleum, wall carpet, sideboard with lace doily (now with dark spreading stain), PORCELAIN BALLERINA FIGURINE (will tip over during scene), VINTAGE RADIO (cold blue, pulsing erratically), bookshelf, floor lamp, window curtains now completely drawn, radiator, brown velour sofa, Shishkin painting (seems darker), coffee table (TV guide fallen to floor), ceiling lamp (swinging wider), Persian rug. GIRL: EXACT SAME — warm beige skin, rosy flush, hazel-brown glass eyes, brown bob with straight bangs, red barrette now slightly askew, NO white streak, burgundy cable-knit sweater (slightly bunched), white blouse collar (askew), navy blue skirt (twisted), cream tights, dark blue slippers, chipped pink nail polish. ACTION: Girl presses body backward into sofa cushions — spine curves in 4 distinct increments, velour fabric compressing into deep folds. Mouth opens — from worried part to full silent scream over 6 frames, jaw dropping in stop-motion steps. Eyes: pupils contract to pinpoints over 4 frames. Wet glaze on lower eyelids. Single dark tear forms at left eye corner — swells over 3 frames, rolls down cheek in 4 drops, leaving faint gray trail on warm beige clay skin. RADIO: cold blue glow pulses erratically — rapid flickers, 5 per second. Dark stain on doily spreads — thin dark rivulet drips down sideboard front, freezes mid-drip. PORCELAIN BALLERINA FIGURINE tips over — falls on its side over 4 jerky frames, tiny porcelain arm breaks off and rolls 1cm. CEILING LAMP swings wider — 15-degree arc, shadows sweeping across wallpaper. GIRL'S SHADOW ON WALL DETACHES — shifts 5mm left, clearly separated from her body, dark silhouette with head bowed and hands clasped. FINAL 2 SECONDS: hold on girl's terrified face filling frame, cold blue light creating skull-like shadows, da
