MAN (emotional):
“I’ve carried this… every day.”
The boy’s eyes fill with tears.
BOY (hurt):
“She said you left us…”
MAN (shaking head):
“No… I was told you both died.”
The crowd is frozen.
BOY (confused, breaking):
“Then why didn’t you come find us…?”
The man can’t answer.
Instead… he slowly looks past the boy.
His face goes pale.
WHIP PAN —
A woman stands in the sunlight.
Hand over her mouth.
Same pendant chain on her neck.
The boy turns slowly.
BOY (breathless):
“Mom…?”
The man whispers:
MAN:
“You’re alive…”
The woman steps forward. Calm. Cold.
WOMAN (quiet):
“I came for the bicycle…”
Pause.
WOMAN (sharp, final):
“…not for you.”
CUT — BLACK.
