1INT. BEAR'S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

A small, old house with faded yellow walls, a tapestry behind the couch serves as a "poor man's wallpaper." BEAR, 25, slouches on the couch, a depressed existence. He's decent-looking but lacks self-confidence.

He fixates on a pivotal scene from a classic romance film on a small TV, it echoes adding an eerie ambiance to the room.

MAN ON TV (O.S)

I've often wondered what it means

to truly love someone. And then, I

realized it's what I feel for you.

It's a love that defies the

limitations of the world, that

remains steadfast even in the face

of chaos. Even if the world lost

its color, if hope faded into the

night, my love for you wouldn't

falter. It's unwavering and

enduring, and it fills every fiber

of my being.

Bear's eyes tell the story of a man who yearns for love but enjoys wallowing in his disappointments. He looks down at the ground in front of him and sighs.

In the center of the room, a DEAD CAT lies where the coffee table should be. Its body is stiff, and the grease from its hair has begun to seep into the carpet, causing it to smell. Bear takes a deep breath and finally stands up.
