■ Primary Axis
- Entry: Ordinary life after the future disappears
Reason: Social routines lose authority once the continuation of life is no longer guaranteed.
Related Film: Melancholia - Middle: Love as final orientation
Reason: When large-scale survival becomes impossible, meaning contracts into one chosen relationship.
Related Film: Last Night - Core: Presence instead of rescue
Reason: The final answer is not escape from extinction, but remaining with another person at the end.

■ Secondary Axes
- Collapse of social scripts: Work, marriage, pleasure, and morality unravel when time becomes visibly finite.
