OVER BLACK SCENE CARD
The Menu Turns Service Ritual Into a Class Trap
The restaurant becomes a ritual machine where service, taste, resentment, and class punishment are all courses. Hospitality turns into governance.
Why it works
Each dish is exposition and threat, making the menu itself the scene architecture. The guests cannot leave because they are part of the service logic they paid to consume.
