Living Vicariously

The scene begins with a prolonged shot of Becky (Natalie Knight) walking hurriedly down the street on her own. Her body language is rigid, her face filled with worry. She attempts to maintain her gaze forward but occasionally glances back nervously. She is evidently scared that she is being pursued, although there's no visual confirmation. Quickening her stride, she paces down an alley towards her home. Overwhelmed by fear, she breaks into a terrified sprint towards her front door. Frantically she rummages through her bag for her home keys. In her haste, they slip from her grasp. She curses under her breath, but retrieves them swiftly and unlocks the door. She darts inside and slams the door shut. After locking the door, Becky feels a wave of relief. Tentatively, she peers out the window. She shrieks in fright and backs away from the window. Gwen (Jane Wilde) is rigidly standing on the street, her eyes fixed on Becky. FADE TO TITLE The following day, Becky has her friend Mitchell (Nathan Bronson) over and shares that Gwen, an ex-girlfriend of her former boyfriend, has been hounding her. She seeks his company and protection, and Mitchell agrees. That evening, Becky and Mitchell are nestled on the couch, absorbed in a television show. Becky is snuggled up to Mitchell, clearly still seeking solace, though her focus is on the TV. Mitchell's gaze alternates between the screen and Becky. After a moment's pause, he wraps an arm around her. She leans into his embrace without making a fuss, getting comfortable. He tries to keep a poker face but is visibly thrilled to have Becky close to him. However, it's evident that for her, this is not a romantic overture, but a friendly embrace. Mitchell looks a little disheartened but doesn't appear to want to press the matter further. Suddenly, a loud crash jolts them both. Scared out of her wits, Becky looks on as Mitchell instinctively rises to his feet, ready to defend her. Mitchell instructs Becky to stay put and cautiously heads towards the back door, the tension mounting as he investigates for Gwen. Just when it looks like Gwen might appear, it turns out to be a false alarm. Relieved, Mitchell turns to tell Becky, only to find her oblivious to Gwen's presence behind her. Mitchell calls out to Becky, who is petrified and rushes to him. Gwen confesses her obsession with Becky and her desire to see her in a sexual encounter. She begins to influence Mitchell to develop similar desires for Becky. Despite his initial resistance, Mitchell, under Gwen's continued manipulation, confesses his feelings for Becky. Mitchell expresses some bitterness about being ignored. Gwen continues to mess with his mind until Mitchell proposes that they all engage in sexual activity. Becky is reluctant but agrees after Gwen assures her that she'll stop harassing her afterwards. Gwen smirks wickedly, prepared to finally get what she's been craving for...
