Two young women, Feng and Flora, perform a dance duet. Their movements begin in synchronization, but as it progresses, Feng becomes more frantic while Flora remains reserved. With their duet, Feng relives a hate crime she experienced at a bus stop as Flora remembers a sexual assault she faced in an elevator. After their dance, Flora exits through the elevator, but recoils in fear when someone abruptly joins her. It turns out to be Feng, another survivor confronting her trauma in an unforgiving world.
