The file’s frames were grainy, the kind of compression artifacts you see when something once ubiquitous survives as thrifted data. The video opened with the boarding house corridor — shoes lined like small sentinels, soft light pooling at the base of cracked plaster. A heated exchange unfolded between two tenants.
