Narration: Friday. Su-jin had agreed one extra paid hour.
Suk-ja: Yes. That's mine.
Yu-na shows Suk-ja the fan's custody record and acknowledges that permission should have come first.
Yu-na: He brought it here. We should have asked first.
Suk-ja explains the earlier assessment and the repair cost she cannot afford. The lead remains disconnected.
Suk-ja: I already asked someone to assess it.
Suk-ja: The repair would cost more than I can afford.
Yu-na closes the parts catalogue after Suk-ja chooses to let the fan go.
Yu-na: Do you want another estimate?
Suk-ja: No. I want to let it go.
Yu-na accepts the answer without proposing another rescue.
Yu-na: All right.
Su-jin records the owner's request for safe dismantling, with Suk-ja watching.
Reading: Owner requests safe dismantling. No further repair.
Yu-na labels the disconnected fan in a protected crate for appropriate collection.
Yu-na: I'll arrange the proper collection. You do not have to take it home again.
Suk-ja picks up her own handbag, relieved that she can reclaim the space.
Suk-ja: Thank you. There is a space I would like back.
The place where the fan stood is empty. The fan is now held safely in its collection crate.
Yu-na and Su-jin call the red lamp's owner on the single phone on the bench.
Yu-na: The red lamp is here. Would you like to collect it?
The owner's Korean message asks the workshop to keep the lamp for collection tomorrow.
Reading: Please keep the lamp. I can collect tomorrow.
The fan is tagged for safe dismantling and the red lamp for return. Both choices receive the same care.
Su-jin: Different answers.
Yu-na: Both theirs.
The stranger waits outside the dry workshop door, knocking with a small contact slip in his other hand.
