Scene: Inside the same university engineering workshop, later in the conversation. The room is still quiet, with the rescue prototype, mechanical parts, flexible pieces, small cameras or components, tools, and notebooks on the worktable. The atmosphere is tense but controlled. Character 1: Urame Sher, male, 17 years old, slim, messy red hair, pink eyes, composed and intelligent expression. He is standing near the worktable, holding a notebook or one small component in one hand. His expression is calm and slightly guarded, with a very subtle, controlled smile. Character 2: Gruat Cartum, male, 18 years old, broad and sturdy, muscular, serious and perceptive expression. He is facing Urame directly, standing with crossed arms or a firm posture beside the rescue prototype. He clearly suspects that Urame is not asking random academic questions. Action: Gruat is confronting Urame in a calm but direct way, realizing that Urame is asking like someone who already has a real project and only needs the missing parts. Urame does not fully confess, but he does not look surprised. Their interaction should feel sharp, thoughtful, and tense, not aggressive. The prototype and technical materials remain visible around them. Composition: Medium shot or medium-wide shot of both characters facing each other. The rescue prototype or mechanical parts should be visible behind or between them. Gruat should look dominant and grounded. Urame should look thoughtful and controlled. Focus on eye contact, posture, and the tension between them.
