Schubert's 'Ave Maria' Recording (played in Josh's office)
An audible, late‑night playback of Schubert's 'Ave Maria' that fills Josh's office — plaintive, slow and elegiac. The source (stereo, radio, or phone) is unspecified; the music acts as a soft, sustained presence while Josh sits gripped by panic. C.J. and others enter against the piece's hush, reacting to its consoling yet eerie atmosphere.

Purpose
To provide recorded classical music as ambient accompaniment, offering a sonic refuge or contemplative backdrop in the office during a tense late‑night moment.
Significance
The recording frames Josh's private collapse: it soothes and isolates him simultaneously, heightening his exclusion anxiety and the scene's epidemic stakes. The music contrasts domestic calm with his catastrophic monologue and makes C.J.'s human intervention feel more urgent and intimate.
