Noah entered the house. He calls Opal panting from the run. He calls her in a desperate tone.

He goes to all the rooms and turns on all the lights. He keeps calling her more and more panicked. He goes into the bedroom and presses the switch. A moth flies around the chandelier.

With increasing anxiety he keeps calling Opal running to the front door of the house.

He goes outside and gets into his car. He drives fast, knowing exactly where to go.

He takes a side street that leads him down a long, dark road framed on both sides by a forest. The car's headlights illuminate the majestic trees that line it. He keeps his eyes on the fast-flowing road.

Suddenly on the horizon, Opal, dressed in white, is in the middle of the road waiting for him. Noah powerfully presses the brake pedal and the car comes to a screeching halt a few centimetres from her. She seems unafraid. She remains motionless.

She looks him straight in the eyes, seriously, with a slight veil of sadness in her face.

He is still inside the car, sweating and upset, then sees her turn and head for the woods.
