The Villainess Left the SCRIPT " [Season 1[
14 the silence at the table
± SCENE: MORNING THE FERNANDEZ Family Dining Room ±
The sun poured into the dining room, golden and soft, but the warmth didn't reach the people seated inside
Scarlet stood by the stove, quietly pouring tea into porcelain cups. Her movements were gentle, nearly soundless. Her eyes flicked toward the doorway every few seconds, as if expecting someone
Then, the sound of quiet footsteps. *Astrid* entered the room
Her hair was messy, her eyes heavy with exhaustion. She wore the same clothes from the day before, though she had tried to clean herself up. She didn't say a word. She simply walked to the table and sat down, reaching for toast
Everyone in the room went still
ETHA FERNANDEZ ( villainess dad)

looked up from his newspaper, surprised. He hadn't expected her to show up at all-especially not like this
ETHA FERNANDEZ ( villainess dad)
(softly): Astrid
She didn't look at him. She bit into the toast mechanically, her gaze locked on the empty space on her plate
Scarlet quietly set the teacup in front of her and stepped back, but her eyes lingered on Astrid with concern
ETHA FERNANDEZ ( villainess dad)
(clearing his throat):
I... I heard you didn't come home last night.
ETHA FERNANDEZ ( villainess dad)
(softer): I was worried
ASTRID FERNANDEZ (villainess)
(still not Looking at him): Were you?
The words were quiet, almost like a whisper-but enough to sharp to pierce the air. Scarlet froze mid-step
ETHA FERNANDEZ ( villainess dad)
Astrid... I know I've been hard on you lately, but-
ASTRID FERNANDEZ (villainess)
(interrupting): Don't.
She finally looked at him then. Her eyes were glassy but cold. Not angry -just *done
ASTRID FERNANDEZ (villainess)
: You're only worried when it's convenient
A beat of silence. He looked hurt, but said nothing more
Scarlet sat down quietly, her eyes moving from one to the other, guilt knotting in her chest. She wanted to say something... anything. But nothing would make this moment better.
ASTRID FERNANDEZ (villainess)
(rising from her seat): I'm not hungry anymore
She left the toast untouched, grabbed her jacket, and walked out the front door again-leaving behind only silence, and a bitter sip of tea cooling at the table
