SCENE 2 — STARBUCKS ORBITAL CAFÉ
VISUAL DESCRIPTION
A futuristic Starbucks-like café suspended above a vast cyberpunk megacity.
Rain drips slowly down gigantic panoramic windows.
Everything glows in toxic neon blue and red.
Corporate advertisements flicker silently outside.
Most customers appear exhausted, medicated, emotionally hollow.
Two women sit opposite each other.
One slowly stirs coffee.
The spoon repeatedly hits the ceramic cup.
CLINK. CLINK. CLINK.
Camera slowly pushes inward.

DIALOGUE
WOMAN (quietly)
“Yeah… he’s not much to look at.
But he only has seven diagnoses.
And I wanna be a mum, so…”
Silence.
Coffee stirring continues.

SCENE 3 — THE INHERITANCE TREE
VISUAL DESCRIPTION
Black screen.
One small white dot appears.
Then another.
Then another.
Thin glowing white lines connect them.
The structure begins resembling an ancestor tree.
The camera slowly zooms outward.
More and more dots appear.
Millions.
Billions.
The structure becomes incomprehensibly vast.
Like a cosmic nervous system.
Like a disease spreading through time.

More branches.

A newborn baby begins crying somewhere in the darkness.

SOUND DESIGN NOTES
Deep low-frequency ambient drones
Minimal piano notes
Distant industrial city sounds
Heavy silence between statements
The spoon-on-cup sound should become symbolic
Baby crying should feel real and uncomfortable
---
