Ella glares at Damian, who's clearly enjoying teasing her.
[INT. DAMIAN'S BEDROOM – NIGHT]
(Damian gets ready to sleep. He takes his usual pills, drinks water, and leans back, smiling faintly.)
Damian (chuckling to himself):
Her reaction was funny.
(He lies down, and soon falls asleep. His dream begins—only this time, it's different. For the first time, the girl who always runs toward him finally speaks.)
Anne (smiling softly, voice innocent and warm):
"I don't want any stone. I just want you… with me, always. Everywhere."
"Then how about we live in the same house?"
(Suddenly, the dream flashes again—the same tragic scene of his past life, where he dies. Damian jolts awake, breathing heavily. He instinctively touches his neck where the scar usually stings—)
—But this time, there's no pain.
Damian (confused, whispering):
How… is this possible?
(Damian sits up after waking from the dream, still shaken. He touches his forehead, then wipes his face with his hand—only to find it wet with tears.)
Damian (confused, whispering to himself):
Why… am I crying?
Why are there tears in my eyes… when I was asleep?
(He quietly wipes the tears away, still lost in thought.)
One Week Later – Late Night at Home
(A soft lamp lights up the room. Rey and Ella are sitting cross-legged on the bed, sharing a blanket. The TV plays in the background, but it's muted. Ella looks restless.)
Ella (nudging Rey gently): Rey… Rey!
Rey (half-asleep): Huh? What happened?
Ella (whispering, a bit anxious): What should I do next?
Rey (sits up slowly): About what?
Ella (looking down at her hands): About becoming friends with him… with Damian.
Rey (leans back against the wall, thinking): Hmm. Okay, listen. You're actually doing great already. He talks to you, sometimes even laughs—well… not with you, but at you.
Ella (rolls her eyes): Wow, thanks for the confidence boost.
Rey (grinning): I mean it! He notices you, and that's something. Now all you have to do is ask him directly.
Ella (nervous): Ask him? Directly?
Rey: Yup. Just go for it.
Ella (bites her lip): You really think I should ask him about my movie?
