Ace stands up and heads
towards the door. This
conforms to “self-image”
(Hartley’s seven subjectivities)
because Ace’s appearance
pragmatically encodes that the
audience will be
uncomfortable.
Ace turns back and looks at
Lily, looking sad and annoyed.
This further reveals the plot,
connoting Ace will do
something horrific effecting the
characters’ and influencing
more “disequilibrium” –

Slow zoom in to Ace’s eyes as
