1: The daughter’s room is messier than before, with laundry scattered across the carpet and walls covered in bizarre drawings of distorted astronomical shapes. The fairy lights are not lit. The daughter is on the balcony again.
Dad, off screen: Um, sweetpea?
Your dinner’s getting cold, kiddo… Do you want me to bring it up here?
Girl: Whatever.

Girl: Nnnn.

3: The girl has retracted from the arm, clinging closer to her telescope. She looks tired and estranged.
Girl: I’m not hungry, just go away! Stop pretending you’re my real dad!

5: The father retracts into the shadows, rubbing his hands sadly. The girl’s expression is now more neutral as she stares.
