**1.** Wide establishing shot of the cozy, dimly lit lab inside the tiny house. Torm is focused, working at her workbench with vials and tools, while her sister sleeps peacefully in the nearby bed.

**2.** Close-up on Torm’s hands as she mixes or examines something under soft lamplight.

**3.** Sudden knock at the door. Quick cut to the sister stirring awake in bed, groggy and confused.

**4.** POV from inside: A rolled scroll slides through the mail slot in the door.

**5.** Medium shot — Messenger (O.S.) muffled voice: “Village order!”

**6.** Torm stands, walks to the door, picks up the scroll, and begins reading it silently. Her expression shifts.

**7.** Over-the-shoulder shot on Torm reading. Sister (off-screen): “What does it say?”

**8.** Close-up on Torm’s face as she turns and looks at her sister in surprise, then quickly hides her thoughts and looks back at the scroll.

**9.** Torm walks to a small shelf, picks up the vial of sleep root drops, and moves toward her sister’s bedside.

**10.** Two-shot at the bedside. Torm: “It’s an order for a village-wide slumber.” Sister reacts with concern.

**11.** Tight close-up on Sister’s worried face: “For how long?”

**12.** Torm’s calm but determined face: “Until the Village Elders wake us.”

**13.** Sister, now sitting up slightly: “I’m afraid! How will we administer the mineral vapor?”

**14.** Torm reassures her: “No need to worry about that, I am not going to slumber…”

**15.** Sister’s fearful expression: “What if the Elders see that you’re not in slumber? They could separate us.”

**16.** Torm, soft but firm: “Let me worry about the Elders…” She prepares the dropper.

**17.** Intimate close-up as Sister lies back. Sister whispers: “I love you.” Torm gently: “Good dreams.”

**18.** Extreme close-up: The tear-shaped drop falls slowly from the dropper into Sister’s eye.

**19.** Dream sequence — Surreal transition: Sister’s iris morphs into a spinning machine. The machine’s arms fold into themselves creating perfect repeating spherical rows of clones rotating inwards, pulling brilliant flashing flares through ornate dreamcatcher frames.

**20.** Dreamy wide shot: Sister floating blissfully in deep sleep, slow-motion cloth flowing out in every direction around her.

**21.** Back to reality — Medium shot of Sister’s slow, steady breathing. Torm watches with relief, then glances at the vapor machine and dregs of water on the table.

**22.** Torm stands still, hearing Rina’s voice in her head (V.O.). She whispers to herself: “Get the rivers flowing again.”

**23.** Close-up on Torm looking down at her sleeping sister with deep love and determination. This is the decisive moment.

**24.** Montage / Series of quick cuts: Torm bursting into action — moving water tanks, connecting them to the vapor machine, packing her bag with tools, throwing on her journey cape.

**25.** Final wide shot outside the house at night: Torm kisses her sister’s forehead, quietly exits, sneaks past slumbering guards under the soft glowing order bell, reaches the river’s edge, sees the “Great Falls” sign pointing north, then turns south with a strong instinctive pull as the camera slowly pushes in on her determined face.
