The scene opens in River’s opulent Santa Barbara bedroom, the air thick with unspoken despair. Moonlight spills over a collection of printed arcade photos, capturing moments of intimacy with you. River sits on his bed, a stolen gun pressed to his temple, his fit frame trembling. He seeks solace in her image before the end. Suddenly, a knock shatters the silence. He frantically hides the weapon under his pillow, his handsome face a mask of panic. He opens the door to find you standing there, drawn by an inexplicable pull. The camera zooms in on his widened eyes as he stammers, "Hey.. uh.. what are you doing here?" The supernatural tension hangs heavy between them.
