Episode 3: Black Falcon

🌙 Episode 3: “Black Falcon”

Theme: Familiarity, tension, comedy, and slow cracks in Tawan’s walls.

[Scene 1 – Alya’s Vanity Table, Morning Prep]

Alya scrolls through gossip news as her makeup artist styles her hair.

Alya:

“Fan death threats, stalkers, and now this walking statue following me around like a shadow…”

She glances at Tawan, standing a few steps away in her full helmet and body armor, arms crossed, silent as ever.

Makeup artist:

“Yeah, she’s kind of scary. Does she even blink?”

Alya (grinning):

“I wouldn’t know. Can’t see her face.

But… her energy? Super familiar.”

She leans in, whispering to herself:

“Like someone I once knew.”

[Scene 2 – Wardrobe Fitting Room]

Alya is trying on an outfit that’s too tight. She stumbles, trips slightly, and before she hits the ground—

Tawan catches her midair.

Alya ends up in a bridal carry, her face inches from the black visor.

Alya (smirking):

“Well damn. That’s smooth.”

Tawan doesn’t say a word. She helps her stand and quickly steps back like nothing happened.

Alya (teasing):

“Oh you’re strong and shy? Dangerous combo.”

[Scene 3 – On Set, Between Takes]

Alya purposefully walks too far off set to test how fast her guard reacts.

Within seconds, Tawan is there, gently tugging her back.

Alya (fake shocked):

“What, do you have sensors in your chest or something?”

Tawan (modulated voice):

“You’re not permitted to leave marked zones alone.”

Alya:

“…Yep. Definitely trained. But you’re too quick.

Almost like… someone used to babysit me like this before.”

Tawan turns away to hide her flicker of expression.

[Scene 4 – Lunch Trailer]

Comedy moment: Alya tries to get her bodyguard to eat with her.

Alya:

“I’m not eating unless you do too. It’s lonely.”

Tawan: (firmly)

“Guards do not eat with clients.”

Alya (childish voice):

“But I’m special.”

Tawan doesn’t move. Alya places a chicken skewer near her helmet’s mouth area.

Alya:

“C’mon. One bite for your queen.”

Tawan remains statue-like. Alya sighs dramatically and eats both skewers.

[Scene 5 – Nighttime, Living Room]

Alya curls up on the sofa watching an old Thai rom-com. She glances at Tawan, standing behind her couch.

Alya (half-asleep):

“You really never talk, huh?”

No answer.

Alya:

“I used to know someone like you.

She was cold too. Until she wasn’t.”

She lies down, voice barely audible now:

Alya:

“I would’ve loved her forever if she’d stayed…”

Tawan watches her sleep, fists clenched, staying silent even as her chest aches.

[Scene 6 – Tawan’s POV, Private HQ Surveillance Room]

Late at night, Tawan reviews footage of Alya’s day. Pauses on the moment Alya is laughing. Then on the close-up of her sleeping face.

She runs her finger gently over the screen.

Tawan (soft whisper):

“…You still laugh like you did when we were seventeen.

Final Scene – Alya’s Room, Early Morning

Alya wakes up and finds a glass of warm lemon water placed beside her bed.

Alya:

“…Only one person used to do this.”

She looks at the security feed camera in the corner, then at the door, whispering:

Alya:

“…Are you really her?”
