The story so farBefore scene 6

Bear wishes the woman he loves would love him back. The wish comes true — and her devotion becomes a violence neither of them can stop.

Scene 1
Bear slouched before the TV's idealized love speech, a dead cat where his coffee table should be — grief and longing established in one image.
Just before
Scene 3
Bear stashes the pill bottle in the medicine cabinet and tests a smile in the mirror.
Scene 4
Bear bags the cat's corpse and scrubs the carpet clean, his phone ringing in the other room.
Scene 5
Bear calls Nicky back after her garbled voicemail, and she deflects that Ian is meeting her early at trivia, needling Bear's jealousy before he can confess anything.
Scene 6

6INT. BEAR'S HOUSE - BEDROOM - MOMENTS LATER

Bear, center-screen, illuminated only by a warm lamp behind him, sits on the edge of his bed, crying. Probably about the cat, or Nicky, or his life. Maybe all of the above.
