Part 7/12:
A specific example illustrates this: during a sequence where May sneaks up on Sa with a knife, the tension is artificially inflated by ominous music — a technique that backfires if the scene is nonsensical or if the audience perceives it as pointless. Later revelations clarify that May's actual intent was to get information from Sa, making her sneaking around with a knife unnecessary. This scene, instead of adding tension or depth, just emphasizes the incoherent writing and disconnect from character logic.
