LONG SHOT: FOCUSED ON DOOR AS MAN RUSHES INTO ROOM, QUICKLY TAKES OFF JACKET OR IS ALREADY HOLDING JACKET, COULD BE HOLDING BRIEFCASE, AND IS HOLDING TAKE AWAY FOOD.
MID SHOT: FOCUSED ON A DINING TABLE WITH A MIRROR ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE. LIGHT FLICKS ON AND IN THE MIRROR'S REFLECTION THE LIGHT ALSO TURNS ON BUT A DIFFERENT LOOKING APARTMENT IS SHOWN (THE CURRENT APARTMENT BUT FROM THE PAST, BEFORE THE EARTHQUAKE AND IS CLEAN), MAN IS TALKING IN THE BACKGROUND.
MAN: *Sighs* what a day. Work was so busy today I'm exhausted.
MAN ENTERS THE SHOT AND UNPACKS THE TAKE AWAY FOOD, PUTS IT ON THE TABLE, PLACES FOOD IN FRONT OF HIMSELF AND ON OPPOSITE SIDE OF TABLE WHERE THERE IS A MIRROR.
MID OVER THE SHOULDER SHOT, ANGLED BEHIND MAN FOCUSING MORE ON MIRROR:
MAN: Oh I'm starving, didn't get to have lunch today. Had to fill in for George, you know how he is..."
MAN AND WOMAN ARE EATING WHILE HE IS TALKING. WOMAN IS EATING FOOD IN THE REFLECTION, BUT ACTUAL FOOD IN FRONT OF THE MIRROR ISN'T TOUCHED.
WOMAN IN MIRROR GIGGLES SILENTLY.
CLOSE UP OF TABLE, FOCUSING ON NEWSPAPER ARTICLE ABOUT EARTHQUAKE. SHOT IS STILL ON NEWSPAPER AS THE MAN TALKS.
MAN: I miss you.... It's my fault you're gone.... I could have saved you...
MID SHOT IN FRONT OF MAN:
MAN PUTS DOWN FORK AND CLENCHES HIS FIST. HE HAS A GRIM EXPRESSION ON HIS FACE AND LOOKS REGRETFUL.
MID OVER THE SHOULDER SHOT FOCUSING ON MIRROR:
HE LOWERS HIS HEAD AND THE WOMAN LOOKS SAD AND APOLOGETIC. THE HOUSE INSIDE THE MIRROR STARTS SHAKING AND HE LOOKS UP. SHE LOOKS SLIGHTLY SURPRISED
MAN: No.... not again!!!
MAN SITS UP AND GRIPS THE TABLE. WOMAN CALMS DOWN AND SMILES AT HIM SHE HOLDS UP HER HANDS TO GESTURE TO HIM THAT SHE IS OK.
MAN RELAXES SEEING HER EXPRESSION AND ACTIONS.
CLOSE UP OF MIRROR:
WOMAN SMILES EARNESTLY, PUTS A HAND ON HER HEART AND ONE ON THE GLASS OF THE MIRROR AS HER HOUSE FALLS APART. SHE STARTS TO FADE AWAY AND THE PERFECT HOUSE STARTS TO REFLECT THE ACTUAL APARTMENT IN THE REFLECTION. WE ARE LEFT WITH HIS REFLECTION IN THE MIRROR. THE MAN SLOWLY LOOKS DOWN AND FURROWS HIS BROWS AT SOMETHING.
