OVER BLACK SCENE CARD
Titanic Makes the Sinking a Class Clock
The disaster works because the ship's social map becomes a clock. Decks, gates, lifeboats, uniforms, and rooms decide whose love story can physically move toward survival.
Why it works
The romance is not paused by the sinking; it is tested by infrastructure. Every class boundary becomes a timing device, making private devotion collide with public order.
