[Scene: After School. Cloudy sky. Louie walks home alone, hoodie pulled up, Clutching his sketchbook like a shield.]
[Behind him, a black car slows down---tinted windows. Louie doesn't notice. It drives off.]
Louie(MC)
(to himself):
"Maybe if I stop feeling so much, they'll stop looking at me like I'm broken."
[He passes a group of alphas Loitering near a shop. One whistles.]
Alpha Boy
"Hey, Omega. Lost your leash?"
[Louie hurries past, shoulders tight, head down.]
[Inside his tiny apartment, Amara stares at her phone, barely glancing at him.]
Amara (Louie's older sister)
"You forgot to buy milk. Again."
Louie(MC)
"Sorry. I got----"
Amara (Louie's older sister)
"Always excuses. God, you're exhausting."
[Louie swallows his words. He retreats to his room. Lock the door, and sinks to the floor. His hands tremble as he flips to a new page in his sketchbook----he draws a wolf, lost in a storm.]
[Outside, that black car is parked across the street. Watching.]
