FADE IN
INT. SUBURBAN HOUSE — YORI'S ROOM — DAY
HIS HEAD hurts like hell. The camera, slightly dimmed, is hovering over CHARLES (18), long hair, paranoid, recognizing that sound. A silent creaking fills the room, spiking his anxiety as he feels an empty space beside him. He doesn't want to open his eyes, but he is forced to face the truth. As his eyes open slowly, the camera clears up.
CUT TO
The camera is against the wall and at Charles's head level as he sits up. The camera is pointed at the door, where a hanging body can be seen at the center of the room, blurred. Charles is taking deep breaths as a static fills the air.
Tears flowing down his eyes, he turns his head. He sees nothing. The room is empty, but the door outside is left slightly ajar. Rather than a creaking sound, Charles starts to hear something... frying. He smells an aromatic scent in the air, and he has to take a moment to wipe his eyes dry with his wrists.
He looks out the window, his face graced by tomorrow's sun.
CUT TO
The camera is now lingering outside the window, facing directly at Charles's baffled face behind the glass. He stares at the rising sun in the distance, and his tears start to fall again. He isn't grieving, but his heart is already celebrating.
He shook his head. No, don't get used to this. They weren't out of this situation yet. Charles gets out from the bed, limping his way to the door. He stares at the spot on the ceiling where a vivid memory hung, but that seems like a thing of the past now. He turns his back on that awful nightmare, pushing the door aside and exiting into ——
SECOND FLOOR HALLWAY
The hallway is quiet, save for the popping of oil all the way in the kitchen downstairs, and the sweet, melodic humming of a familiar girl. Charles carefully paces down the hall, twirling down the stairs and onto ——
LIVING ROOM
The camera hovers besides Charles's head as he examines the living room. The living room is quiet, save for the noises from the adjacent kitchen. The couch sits squarely in front of a blocky television, and a shelf stands to the side.
CUT TO
The camera zooms in on a group of picture frames on the shelf. It has various medals and portraits of Yori's brothers, as well as the achievements of her parents. First is ZOMAS (27), sharp, cunning, making it big in the city. Zomas is an architect that works on highrises, and his cum laude title sits proudly by his graduation portrait and amazing, completed projects. Next is RIKUJI (31), broad, bold, fighting for his country. Rikuji is a non-commissioned officer and brave soldier, having earned many military medals and ribbons and still earning more.
