[Opening scene: The ethereal realm of the Shinigami, where a bored and mischievous Shinigami named Ryuk drops the Death Note into the human world.]
Narrator: In the realm between life and death, a fateful object descends to the world of the living—the Death Note.
[Cut to a lively city park. Our main character, Ryan Anderson, stumbles upon the mysterious notebook while walking with friends.]
Ryan (picking up the note): What's this? Just some weird notebook.
[Unbeknownst to him, the Shinigami Ryuk observes, eager to witness the chaos that unfolds.]
Narrator: Little does Ryan know, the world is about to change with a simple twist of fate.
[Ryan, intrigued yet nonchalant, opens the Death Note, reads it, and puts it back on the ground. As he walks away, his friend, Mark, calls him to join the group.]
Mark: Hey, Ryan, let's go! We're heading to the arcade.
[Ryan hesitates but decides to join his friends. They spend some time together before he heads home.]
[Ryan arrives home. We get a glimpse of his family—a caring mother, a stern but loving father, an annoying younger sister, and his loyal dog.]
Ryan (to his mom): Hey, Mom, what's for dinner?
Mom: Spaghetti tonight, sweetheart. How was your day?
[Ryan's younger sister, Lily, enters the scene.]
Lily: Did you bring me anything?
[Ryan laughs and ruffles Lily's hair.]
Ryan: Maybe next time, squirt. Mom, where's Dad?
Mom: He's still at work. You know how busy he gets.
[Ryan nods and heads to his room with the Death Note.]
[In his room, Ryan curiously opens the Death Note again, reading the rules:]
The human whose name is written in this note shall die.
This note will not take effect unless the writer has the person's face in their mind when writing.
If the cause of death is written within the next 40 seconds of writing the person's name, it will happen.
If the cause of death is not specified, the person will die of a heart attack.
If the time of death is not specified, it will occur 40 seconds after the name is written.
If the Death Note is owned by a Shinigami, the human who uses it can neither go to Heaven nor Hell.
[Ryan, absorbed in thought, turns on his TV. The news reports on the escaped criminal, Milo Karter.]
TV Reporter: ...escaped police custody yesterday. Authorities are urging the public to stay vigilant.
[Ryan's internal dialogue begins as he takes out a pen.]
Ryan: Isn't that the murderer that escaped police custody yesterday? Milo Karter...
[The TV shows Milo's face, warning the public about him. Ryan starts writing Milo's name but stops midway, questioning himself.]
Ryan: If he dies... does that make me a murderer?
[He pauses, conflicted.]
Ryan: No way... I mean, this book can't be real... can it?
[Narrator returns.]
Narrator: In the whispers of unseen shadows, Ryan Anderson holds the power to reshape fate. What path will he choose as he grapples with the consequences of the Death Note?
[Closing credits with an intriguing and suspenseful soundtrack.]
