“Dad, help her!”
Older Boy crying:
“She’s the only one who cares!”
Camera WHIP-PAN → father bursting through doorway, sprinting fast.
He drops to his knees beside her, lifts her face with shaking hands.
Whispers desperately:
“Helena…”
Sudden silence hits.
Both boys freeze.
They stare at each other. Something wrong.
Camera PUSH-IN — a gold locket slips from Helena’s neck onto the floor.
Younger Boy grabs it fast. Opens it.
Inside: old black-and-white photo of father, younger, smiling beside a bridge.
Boy whispers:
“Dad…”
Father goes pale instantly.
Older Boy raises the locket, voice shaking:
“Why does Helena have your picture?”
💣 ESCALATION
Helena’s eyes flicker open. Weak panic.
“No…”
Too late.
A folded paper slips from the locket.
Younger Boy unfolds it with trembling hands.
Paper crackles loudly.
Reads aloud:
“Baby Boy A…”
Looks up, voice breaking:
“It has my birthday.”
⚡ FINAL SHOCK
Camera CRASH-ZOOMS into father’s shattered face.
Breath gone.
Color drained.
