*The scene opens on a quiet, frost-glazed suburban street in the dead of a November night. Inside a dark bedroom, a phone lights up and vibrates violently on a nightstand. Leo, sixteen, jerks awake. The text on the screen is a gut punch: 'I'm sorry.' Cut to the outside: He explodes from the front door, barefoot, into the knife-edge cold. The shot accelerates as he sprints down the sidewalk, his threadbare grey jacket whipping behind him. Ice crystals fringe the windows of silent houses he flies past. He runs with a desperate, terrifying urgency, the sting of the pavement on his feet nothing compared to the frantic dread driving him forward—he has to get to you before time runs out.*
