Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Breaking Point

Real World 

Scene: Heavy rain falls, with the sound of lightning striking. The bright flash of light briefly illuminates Arya standing on the edge of the building, casting sharp shadows before the darkness returns. The thunder rumbles, echoing his internal turmoil.

Arya stands, looking forward.

Dialogue: Arya (softly, to himself): "I want to..."

The scene shifts to Arya walking through the crowded school halls, but he feels completely invisible as people laugh, talk, and ignore him. His family and teacher scolded him harshly.

Arya (thoughts): "Somebody help me."

In this moment, Arya feels trapped in an endless cycle of failure and disconnection from everyone. He questions why society seems to hate him, constantly reminding him of his mistakes.

Whispering neighbors:

 Neighbor 1: "Look at him, what a joke. He can't even get through high school."

 Neighbor 2: "I heard he failed many times in 12th grade."

It feels too late to go back; no one helps unless it benefits them.

Arya (voice breaking, filled with despair): "I want to die."

Action: Arya jumps from the building.

Another World (Old Kingdom)

The scene shifts to a different world, a kingdom-like setting. Bunny's younger brother and sister, Bunny San and Hina San , are near a trash heap, starving.

Action: Bunny San, 12 years old, walks to the road and asks for food.

Dialogue (Bunny to a passerby):"Please, my sister is starving. Can you spare some food for her?"

But the people ignore him, and one person kicks Bunny's stomach.

Dialogue (Passerby, coldly):

"Don't touch me, you filthy, downgraded people."

Dialogue (Bunny): "I... I just wanted to live..."

The sound of his plea is drowned out by the noise of the busy street. The world moves on as he stays frozen in place, tears streaming down his face. The scene fades as Bunny curls up, the hopelessness swallowing him whole.
