As he hurries off the train and through the station to join her, the call drops, no signal. Suddenly, reality shifts. He can't find the exit. Each time he passes through sterile corridors, silent except for his own footsteps, he discovers himself back at the beginning, going past the same advertisements, locked closets, coin-operated photo booth, and, disturbingly, the same man, who never responds to him.
