BLACK
He’s awake in the mansion, it’s bright outside, the alarm clock says 06:24, getting back to sleep isn’t an option, he vapes. There’s a distant beep, this happens every few seconds throughout, always distant
THE BOY
Just another dream
He walks through the kitchen, it’s a mess, there are strangers asleep on the counter, he goes straight to the bathroom mirror. He spots a stain on his shirt
He takes it off to throw it in the washing basket and we see the bullet hole scars, he touches them, his face as if he is seeing them for the first time
THE BOY
Just a dream (x2)
Fresh shirt, back to the kitchen. Everyone is gone, alone. The Boy sits at the table with a bowl of cereal. Going through his feed, he scoffs, retweets, retweet fails, retweet fails again. He puts the phone down. We hear it buzz. The name on the screen is NAOMI, he exhales and answers
THE BOY
Hey
The signal is terrible
NAOMI
Can you hear me?
THE BOY
Hello?
NAOMI
