INT. NIGHT – SHARAREH'S HOUSE

June 2025

It's around 3 a.m. The entire house is silent and dark. Sharareh sits at her desk, a laptop open in front of her. A dim lamp glows above her head. She's working but looks utterly exhausted and sleepy.

After a few moments, she rests her elbows on the table and lays her face in her hands.

Suddenly, a deep sound from outside breaks the silence — like air being split by a fast-moving aircraft.

Sharareh lifts her head, frowns slightly, and looks out the window. Thinking it's just a passing plane or a storm, she lowers her head again to rest.

Then — a MASSIVE EXPLOSION. The entire house shakes. Windows rattle violently.

Sharareh lifts her head in terror just as the shockwave hits her face. She gasps — more explosions follow. The lights flicker.

Through the chaos, a child's scream pierces the air:

AYLAR (O.S.): Mom!

Sharareh jolts up and sprints toward her daughter's room as the house continues to tremble.
