Study how Yagemann builds escalating tension through a tight, single-protagonist point of view, using Trevor's mounting paranoia to twist a familiar urban-teacher drama into a slow-burn psychological thriller. The script's raw, clipped dialogue and stark scene contrasts between New York and Los Angeles sharpen the world-building, while the pacing steadily tightens as the protagonist's sanity frays.
