"View from a bus to Lisdoonvarna" it rained 4-5 times between the moment I hopped in the bus & the moment I took the bus to return home

Crystal sits at a desk. Where, exactly? Who knows. The camera is situated in the upper right corner of the room. A ceiling fan whirs in the background. The woman types on her computer, but pauses every now and again as if zoned out. Her black hair is tied in a tight bun atop her head, fixed with a white scrunchie.

After a few minutes of working, she reaches for the water bottle on top of the desk and—

CRACK!

The glass vase on the table topples off the desk, spilling water across the floor and shattering completely. The small bouquet inside is scattered on the floor. Stunned, Crystal sits there, still holding her water bottle.

She slowly gets up and circles around the desk to look at the broken vase. For the next 2.54 minutes, Crystal stares at the broken glass unblinkingly. Until, with a world-weary and heavy sigh, she moves to clean up the glass shards from the floor.
