Lee Case 101
[Narration]: Fog sits over the settlement. A pale light flickers. In the distance, a siren cries. There’s blood on the floor.
Jay: Wake up, Lee. Always sleeping.
Lee: Sorry… I’ve got issues. I don’t sleep easily.
Jay: It’s okay. Everything’s gonna be fine. Just try.
[Narration]: Lee stands. Walks to the desk. The computer hums on.
Lee: Password… okay.
Lee: (breathes)
Jay: You’re shaking.
Lee: I’m fine.
[Narration]: The screen lights Lee’s face. His reflection looks like a stranger.
Lee: Jay… about last night—
Jay: Later. You need rest.
Lee: Right.
[Narration]: A siren grows louder. Then fades. The room stays quiet.
Lee: I keep seeing things.
Jay: What things?
Lee: Flashes. Your smile.
Jay: That’s not a bad thing.
Lee: It was the same smile… before that day.
[Narration]: The cursor blinks. An old folder opens: /MEMORIES.
Lee: Don’t laugh…
Jay: I won’t.
Lee: There’s a file here I don’t remember saving.
[Narration]: FILE: “settlement_cam_12.mp4” (timestamped a week ago)
Lee: Did you put this here?
Jay: No.
[Narration]: Footsteps in the hall. A door shuts. The light flickers again.
Lee: Someone’s outside.
Jay: Ignore it. Lock the door.
Lee: Already did.
[Narration]: Lee hesitates. Doesn’t press play.
Jay: You’re thinking too much.
Lee: That’s what I do.
[Narration]: Phone vibrates on the table.
System: Building Alert — “Please remain indoors. Police activity nearby.”
Neighbor (Group Chat): Was that on our floor??
Unknown: saw tape on 12th
Unknown: keep doors locked
Lee: Jay…?
Jay: I’m here.
[Narration]: Another vibration. A message from Jay, but the timestamp is strange—sent 6 hours ago, delivered now.
Jay (6h ago): If anything happens, don’t look for me.
Lee: …Jay? Why would you text that?
Jay: What? I didn’t send—
[Connection unstable…]
[Narration]: The pale light buzzes. The cursor waits. Outside, the siren returns.
Lee: I’ll press play.
