CHYRON: BLACK
We zoom out from Jane's eyes rather slowly.
NARRATOR (O.S)
She was fair. Bright green eyes with a
hint of brown as the sun hit her. Her
smile was as smooth as the wind on
your face. She was an introvert, spent
most of her time in her room, staring
at the stars on her ceiling.
Intercut between the zoom out and zoom in to the stars on the
ceiling.
NARRATOR (O.S)
They glowed not just in the darkness
but glowed even when the white walls
seemed too opaque to see anything. She
collected the stars from the sky, she
collected them every time things did
not feel right.CHYRON: BLACK
NARRATOR (O.S)
All of us wish we could actually just
reach out into the blackness and steal
a star, but alas, we cannot. She,
however, was special, in her own
unique way.
