■ Primary Axis
- Entry: Does shelter become domination when desire enters a closed moral space?
Reason: The injured man is first protected, then becomes the catalyst for rivalry, projection, and control.

Reason: Seduction functions as influence, yet the same enclosed space turns influence into entrapment.
Related Film: The Collector - Core: When repressed desire becomes collective punishment, does victimhood turn into power?
Reason: The household’s vulnerability shifts into a coordinated act of containment and elimination.
