entity ballroom: setting {
  "a Seoul hotel ballroom dressed for a title match: one wooden go board under hot television light, two chairs, a wall of press cameras in the dark, heavy curtains; anime feature-film style, painterly cel shading, muted film-grade palette, deep shadow"
  state hushed: "before the game, lit and empty, dust hanging in the beams"
  state charged: "mid-game, the air tight, camera flashes stuttering at the edges"
  state emptied: "after, the lights cooling, the board abandoned, the room going dark"
}

entity sedol: character {
  "a Korean go player in his early thirties, dark suit, no tie, short black hair, narrow watchful eyes, a face built for holding still; anime feature-film style, painterly cel shading, restrained linework"
  state composed: "seated upright, hands folded, faintly amused, certain of himself"
  state unsettled: "leaning forward over the board, brow tight, both hands at his mouth"
  state hollowed: "shoulders lowered, eyes down, the certainty gone out of his face"
}

entity machine: prop {
  "the opponent: a wall of dark server racks behind glass, thousands of cold blue status lights breathing in slow waves, cables falling like tendons, never a face and never a body; anime feature-film style, deep blacks, cyan bloom"
  state idle: "lights drifting slow and blue, almost sleeping"
  state thinking: "the blue accelerating into white, waves of light racing along the racks"
  state settled: "returned to a slow steady pulse, unchanged by what it just did"
}

scene arrival in #ballroom {
  camera: slow crane down

  The #ballroom hushed. A hundred lenses aimed at nothing yet, the board waiting under the lights. Beyond the glare, #machine idle in the dark. The room holds its breath.
}

scene first_stone in #ballroom {
  camera: locked close, shallow focus

  #sedol composed. His fingers find a black stone in the bowl without looking. The click of stone on wood, enormous in the quiet. A flicker of a smile. The #ballroom -> charged.
}

scene the_lattice in #ballroom {
  camera: drift low across the board, macro to wide

  #machine -> thinking. Above the board a branching lattice of ghost-white futures blooms and dies, millions of them, folding down into one thin bright line. No struggle in it. Only arithmetic falling like snow.
}

scene move_37 in #ballroom {
  camera: whip to the board, then slow push to the face

  A white stone lands on the fifth line. Wrong. Beautiful. #sedol -> unsettled. The ghost lattice flares once and goes out. He stares at a shape no human would have played and cannot find the reason inside it.
}

scene the_clock in #ballroom {
  camera: extreme close-up, rack focus

  The game clock, red digits bleeding down through the minutes, the curve of a man's face reflected in the glass and not moving. Beyond it, far out of focus, #machine settled, patient, uninterested in the hour.
}

scene resignation in #ballroom {
  camera: slow pull back, wide, hold

  #sedol hollowed. He lays two black stones on the edge of the board and bows to an empty chair. The camera retreats: the board, the lights, the cameras firing. The #ballroom -> emptied. #machine in the far dark, blue, still breathing. The oldest game, over.
