Visitor Satisfaction Survey

S1 E1 · 1 min 26 sec

A man wakes on the carpet of an endless yellow room beside a mountain of office chairs. As he fills in a survey pinned to the wall ("How many hours have you been here?", "Did you provide adequate notice before leaving?"), memories of arguments with his partner at home flash past. On the last question he writes "I don't know what you want me to say", and grainy footage shows a tall dark figure standing right behind him.

[eerie music] [footsteps] [camera shutter] How many hours have you been here? We barely have dinner together anymore, and when we do, it still feels like I'm eating alone. I have a lot of plates in the air at work these days, okay? But when I'm home, I'm here. No, you're still at work. You treat us like work. I don't know. [camera shutter] Did you provide adequate notice before leaving? I often wonder, if you left me, how long would it take for me to even notice? That's not fair! Neither is living with someone who only comes home to charge his phone. [camera shutter] I just want an honest answer from you. I don't know what you want me to say. I don't know what you want me to say! [eerie music]
