Our Encounter
[Thunder roars. Rain pours down heavily. A big tree stands as the only shelter.]
Luna (fl)
[She rushes under the tree, panting, drenched.]
Luna (fl)
FL (thinking): Ugh, it’s raining so badly… I should wait here until it stops.
Luna (fl)
FL (thinking): …Huh? Wait… what’s that?
[Her eyes widen. A man lies on the ground, body covered in blood. His breathing is faint, trembling in pain.]
Luna (fl)
FL (shocked, whispers): B-blood?! Oh my god… is he… dead? Or… murdered?
[She hesitates, clutching her chest. Fear mixes with curiosity.]
FL (thinking): He looks… maybe ten years older than me. What if he’s dangerous? But… he’s barely breathing…
[She gulps nervously, slowly leaning closer. Her trembling fingers move toward his wrist to check his pulse.]
[Suddenly—his hand shoots up, gripping her neck tightly!]
Lucas (Mafia don ml)
ML (hoarse, shouting): WHO ARE YOU?!
Luna (fl)
[Her eyes widen in terror, gasping for air.]
FL (choking): L-let… go…! I-I was just—
[She struggles, clawing at his hand, but his strength overpowers her. Her knees buckle. Just as she feels she can’t breathe anymore—]
Lucas (Mafia don ml)
[His grip weakens. His hand slips, falling limply to the ground. His eyes roll back, body trembling.]
Luna (fl)
FL (coughing, terrified): Haaah…!
[She scrambles up, stumbling backward, then runs into the rain, terrified.]
[The man lies there, watching her blurry figure fade into the storm.]
Lucas (Mafia don ml)
ML (thinking, weak): …A girl… young… she’s not one of them…
People… always run when death is near…
… Maybe this is my end.
[He closes his eyes. His chest rises and falls shallowly, thunder rumbling above.]
[Screen fades to black.]
That night… fate tied two strangers under a storm
