INT. BEDROOM – NIGHT
LUNA (20s) sits on her bed, holding her phone tightly. Her eyes are red, but she hasn’t cried yet. She scrolls through her call log — same number, unanswered, over and over.
TEXT ON SCREEN:
“12 missed calls – MOM”
(Phone buzzes again. The name flashes: MOM. She hesitates, stares, then lets it ring out.)
LUNA (V.O.)
(soft, distant)
You ever feel like… the person you love the most suddenly becomes a stranger? And worse—
(beat)
You’re the one who made them that way?
(She deletes the missed calls. Her thumb hovers. She opens the voice recorder.)
LUNA (into phone)
Hey, Mom… it’s me. I know you probably don’t wanna hear my voice. I get it. But if you’re listening… I’m sorry.
(She swallows hard.)
I miss you. I miss your rice. I miss your rules. I miss you calling me “trouble” even when I wasn’t.
(beat)
I’m coming home. If that’s still allowed.
(She ends the recording. Pauses. Then presses “Send” to her mom’s WhatsApp.)
FADE OUT.
