The same dim room. Rain hitting the window harder than before.
Mrs. Rose holds the note from Part 1. Her hands are shaking uncontrollably now.
Close-up silence. No music—only rain.
She opens the note fully.
We see her eyes scanning slowly.
NOTE TEXT (on screen):
“I’m sorry, Mom…
I couldn’t tell you this in front of you…”
Her breath stops.
A faint audio memory of his voice overlaps:
Young man (soft, broken echo):
“If I looked at you one more time… I wouldn’t have been able to leave…”
Her eyes instantly fill with tears.
She finally breaks down.
But instead of collapsing, she pulls the letter close to her chest like she’s holding him.
The money falls untouched on the table.
Camera slowly pulls back.
She sits alone in the dim room.
Rain louder outside.
Silence heavier inside.
Final frame: her silhouette in the window reflection—holding the letter tightly.
🔥 TEXT ON SCREEN: “What was he hiding from her all this time?”
Fade to black.
