LUKA'S BEDROOM - MORNING (00:00 - 02:30)The room is minimalist, cold, grey concrete walls. Sound of a pulse monitor beating fast-Luka's internal perspective.LUKA (V.O.)If you dress like you have everything together, people usually forget to check if you're breathing.Luka stands before a full-length mirror. His breath is quick. Panic attack rising. He pulls on an oversized black Rick Owens zip hoodie, zipping it all the way up, shielding his lower face. He steps into exaggerated, chunky Balenciaga sneakers. As the heavy weight of the shoes hits the floor, his breathing slowly stabilizes. The clothes are his suit of armor.SCENE 2: EXT. OAKHAVEN HIGH - DAY (02:30 - 06:00)Fog hangs thick over the school courtyard. Students hang around in groups.MAYA arrives on her skateboard, wearing a baggy Vetements "May The Bridges I Burn" hoodie pulled low. Her eyes have heavy dark circles-depression making even walking feel like wading through concrete.TK calls out to her. He's wearing an Adidas Y-3 technical jacket and pristine Nike Dunks.TK"You made it. Thought you were skipping again."MAYA(Dry laugh)"My mom threatened to lock my sketchbook away if I missed another morning period."CHLOÉ joins them, adjusting her Prada shoulder bag. Her smile is instant, practiced, and hollow.CHLOÉ"Did anyone do the calculus prep? My dad spent four hours last night talking about how my GPA will ruin my college applications."ACT II: Unravelling (06:00 - 14:00)SCENE 3: INT. CAFETERIA - NOON (06:00 - 10:00)Low ambient hum. The group sits at an outdoor concrete table.Luka sits quietly, fidgeting with the extra-long drawstrings of his hoodie. His hands are trembling.TK"Luka, you good? You haven't touched your food."LUKA"Fine. Just... noisy today."Maya notices his trembling hands-she recognizes the sign. She quietly pushes a glass of cold water across the table toward him without drawing attention to it from the others.MAYA(Softly)"5-4-3-2-1. Name five things you see."Luka looks at her, breathing hard.LUKA"Black leather. Chrome zip. Your shoe laces. Grey sky. TK's jacket."The sensory grounding works. The ringing in his ears fades.SCENE 4: INT. TK'S HOUSE - LATE AFTERNOON (10:00 - 14:00)Small, cluttered apartment in the downtown sector of Oakhaven.TK walks in through the front door. Loud shouting echoes from the kitchen-his parents arguing over overdue utility bills and imminent separation.TK quietly backs out of the house, closing the door softly. He sits on the staircase outside, staring down at his Nike sneakers-shoes he saved up six months of working at a clothing consignment shop to buy, just to look like he belonged in Oakhaven Ridge.ACT III: The Breakdown at The Overlook (14:00 - 20:00)SCENE 5: EXT. OAKHAVEN PIER - NIGHT (14:00 - 20:00)Cold wind, crashing waves below the concrete pier. Streetlights reflect off the damp pavement.The four of them gather at their usual spot on the pier edge.Chloé breaks the silence first, tears slipping past her quiet facade.CHLOÉ"I caught my mom looking at my food log on my phone today. She didn't ask if I was okay-she just told me to stay in the dress size for the winter gala."Maya sits beside her, wrapping her arm over Chloé's shoulders.MAYA"It feels like every adult in this town expects us to be finished products already. Like we're not allowed to have flaws in the seams."Luka pulls off his hood for the first time all day, letting the cold coastal wind hit his face.LUKA"I spent two hours in my closet this morning having a panic attack because leaving the house felt impossible. I thought if I wore enough heavy layers, nobody would see how hollow I felt inside."TK"We're all hiding behind something. My shoes, your hoodies, Chloé's smiles."ACT IV: Stitched Together (20:00 - 24:00)SCENE 6: EXT. OAKHAVEN PIER - CONTINUOUS (20:00 - 22:30)The fog begins to clear slightly. The tone shifts from oppressive to quietly supportive.Maya pulls out a small camera and positions it on a concrete ledge.MAYA"No poses. No brand shoot stuff. Just us."They line up against the railing. None of them smile for the camera, but their shoulders touch. The shutter clicks.SCENE 7: INT. LUKA'S BEDROOM - NIGHT (22:30 - 24:00)Luka returns home. The house is silent.He hangs up his Rick Owens hoodie on a rack. Instead of hiding behind it, he sets it aside, sits at his desk, and opens a text group chat titled THREADS.LUKA: Thanks for tonight.MAYA: Same time tomorrow.TK: I'll bring the coffee.CHLOÉ: Saved a seat for everyone.Luka looks out his window over the dark outline of Oakhaven Ridge. Fade to black as soft ambient synth music swells.
