OVA 2 — Cinema

Continuity: canon-compatible side story; exact placement flexible.

Vesper convinces the Master to attend a public cinema under ordinary disguises.

The Master spends the first act analyzing the film’s internal logic, threat modeling, and technical mistakes. Vesper spends more time watching his reactions than the screen.

Key beats:

• Vesper is amused by how seriously he evaluates a fictional plan.
• The Master unconsciously adjusts their seats, food, timing, and exit route around Vesper’s preferences.
• A minor disturbance tempts Vesper to solve the problem with absurdly disproportionate power; the Master stops her with a quiet practical alternative.
• Neither reveals who they are.

The ending should be small: the Master later references a detail from the film only because Vesper liked it, revealing that he paid more attention than he admitted.
