Scenes

City park café terrace. Tree shade, distant chatter. Hannah arrives in a rush, spots JOSH reading a book at a table, and sits across from him. She comments on his Flannery O'Connor novel. They flirt — easy, natural chemistry. She breaks down briefly; he kneels beside her. Then JULIA steps into the frame — striking, late twenties. She's Josh's girlfriend. Josh introduces Hannah. Julia notices Hannah looks shaken. Josh and Julia leave; Hannah forces composure until they're gone, then bolts.

Hannah walks up the familiar garden path to Josh and Julia's house. Rings the doorbell. JOSH opens the door. JULIA appears behind him. Hannah steels herself: "You guys don't know me, but I need to share something important... if you have the time."

Night street. Hannah walks out checking her phone. JULIA emerges from the shadows. "Hi." They walk together.

Night. Hannah and Julia on a park bench, voices low. Julia says Josh was afraid this afternoon. They discuss Will — Hannah calls him a sociopath. Julia decides she wants to become a Traveller too: "Let's make sure I'm along for the ride." She takes Hannah's hand. "Think of what you're trying to save." THE HUM builds.

Night. JULIA stumbles out of Josh's front door, crying. She nearly falls on the garden path. HANNAH catches her, steadies her. Julia is devastated.

Cemetery. Nathalie's funeral. JULIA stands graveside in black. SIMON beside her. A MINISTER speaks (V.O. or O.S.). Mourners clustered behind. Grey light, still air.

Outside the student bar. HANNAH catches JULIA stumbling out. "Got you." She steadies her. A rescue.

Outside Julia's apartment building. JULIA fumbles with her keys. An "Out of Order" sign on the elevator. HANNAH helps her.

Outside the café. HANNAH and JULIA meet. Julia is wearing sunglasses — hungover. They greet each other with new familiarity.

Daytime. HANNAH and JULIA walk together through grass toward a tree on the hill. Side by side, purposeful.

Under the tree. HANNAH and JULIA find the stone circles. Julia places stones for Nathalie — a memorial, a tribute. The pendant is involved.

Night. HANNAH and JULIA walk through cobbled streets toward the student house party. Close, conspiratorial, purposeful.

They arrive at the student house. Bass thumps inside. JULIA stops at the gate — she's nervous. Hannah steadies her.

Outside the house. HANNAH and JULIA step out for air. "What if we turn Graham into a Traveller?" They strategise.

Outside the student house. JULIA is on her phone. WILL arrives at the party with a few friends, visible in the background.

Outside the house (back/side). GRAHAM is passed out on the ground. HANNAH and JULIA stand over him, reacting. Will is inside.

Outside the café, two years before the main timeline. HANNAH and JULIA meet. "Two years from now." A quiet, charged scene set in the past.

Grass hill. JULIA alone, kneeling, arranging stones into a circle for Nathalie. Solitary, reverent.

Grass hill. HANNAH steps up behind JULIA. Julia rises to meet her. They face each other.

Grass hill. HANNAH and JULIA stand side by side over the stone circles. Wind shifts. Grass bends.

Grass hill. JULIA finishes the stone circle. "Now we live." The final image.
