Rain falls outside a small Seoul repair shop. Its sign reads "새벽전파사" (Dawn Electronics Repair), with "소형가전 수리" (Small appliance repairs) below. The door is at the right of the glazed frontage.
Narration: Seoul. 00:17.
Narration: One more repair. Then home.
Yu-na has set down her screwdriver and turns towards the door.
Yu-na: We're closed.
The stranger stands inside the rainy workshop doorway, holding the wrapped plane in both hands.
Stranger: I only need a moment.
Stranger: I have already kept someone waiting for thirty years.
Yu-na and the stranger face each other across the workshop bench. The wooden plane rests on a cream cloth.
Yu-na: What needs repairing?
Stranger: A promise.
Yu-na raises an eyebrow at the stranger, who remains outside this view.
Yu-na: I repair appliances.
Stranger: Then you understand things that refuse to work.
A wooden plane rests on a cream cloth, safely away from Yu-na's open hand.
Yu-na: Is it yours?
The stranger looks down at the borrowed plane, his empty hands clear of the bench.
Stranger: It was lent to me.
The plane rises a few centimetres above its cloth. A separate shadow makes the impossible gap visible.
Yu-na leans back from the bench, one hand supporting her and both feet planted.
Yu-na gives a firm instruction. The stranger withdraws his hands while the plane begins to settle.
Yu-na: Put it down.
Stranger: I'm trying.
Yu-na lifts an unfilled job card with her right hand. The card and the visible stack carry the printed Korean field 소유자, meaning owner. The name is still blank. The plane remains on the cloth farther along the bench.
Yu-na: One inspection. Then we find out where it belongs.
Yu-na holds a job card and pen while the stranger gives the owner's name. The plane rests on its cloth.
Yu-na: The owner's name.
Stranger: Han Gyeong-su.
Yu-na writes Han Gyeong-su under the Korean printed label for owner.
Reading: Owner: Han Gyeong-su.
The stranger's half-smile falters. Storage shelves stand behind him.
Yu-na: Does he know you still have it?
Stranger: He has been waiting for me to tell him.
Yu-na puts the pen beside the completed job card. The plane rests on its cloth between them; outside, it is still dark.
Yu-na: Then we start with him.
