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."

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 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.

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.
