51. Scene 10 Duration 06:20 Panel 8 Duration 00:13 Notes As she reads the world melts away again. Page 107/185
52. Scene 10 Duration 06:20 Panel 9 Duration 00:12 Notes They're caught up in the swirl, but they do not react. None of them react to this, because it's more of a metaphor than an actual thing that's happening. Page 108/185
53. Scene 10 Duration 06:20 Panel 10 Duration 00:12 Notes The whole screen is caught up in the swirl. Page 109/185
54. Scene 11 Duration 01:10 Panel 1 Duration 00:13 Notes It eventually stops and solidifies into a pattern painted onto a wall. I'm thinking of inspiration from Rococco movement cloudscapes. Page 110/185
55. Scene 11 Duration 01:10 Panel 2 Duration 00:10 Notes We're in the halls of a large educational institution. The camera pans down the stairs to appreciate a set of statues. Students roam throughout, but it's rather sparse. Page 111/185

61. Scene 13 Duration 09:01 Panel 2 Duration 00:12 Notes They're in a large chamber with a reflective floor again. However, this time there is a sea of candles behind them. Page 117/185
62. Scene 13 Duration 09:01 Panel 3 Duration 00:20 Notes The candles shine and provide a powerful light throughout the room. It's extra romantic. Page 118/185

68. Scene 13 Duration 09:01 Panel 21 Duration 00:06 Notes They pass through a doorway into a university. Page 136/185
69. Scene 13 Duration 09:01 Panel 22 Duration 00:06 Notes The crowd starts to die out, as their source, coming down the stairs, is passed. Page 137/185
70. Scene 13 Duration 09:01 Panel 23 Duration 00:06 Notes The couple run past the study from the beginning of the flashback. Page 138/185
71. Scene 13 Duration 09:01 Panel 24 Duration 00:06 Notes The world transitions in a chaotic and firey burst back to the chamber full of candles. Page 139/185
72. Scene 13 Duration 09:01 Panel 28 Duration 00:06 Notes They arrive where they kissed. Page 143/185
73. Scene 13 Duration 09:01 Panel 29 Duration 00:17 Notes Suddenly, every candle goes out at once. Liam lets go of Silvia as he evaporates much like the smoke from the candles. This causes Silvia to lose balance and fall without him. Page 144/185
74. Scene 14 Duration 01:22 Panel 1 Duration 00:14 Notes Up from the water, Silvia's house rises, obstructing her path as she falls, Page 145/185

77. Scene 15 Duration 08:01 Panel 1 Duration 00:12 Notes Wipe through the wall to present day Silvia, still playing the piano. Page 148/185
78. Scene 15 Duration 08:01 Panel 2 Duration 00:13 Notes Flashback Silvia isn't done running yet though, as she runs past herself, frantic and confused. Page 149/185
79. Scene 15 Duration 08:01 Panel 3 Duration 00:12 Notes She turns toward a stairwell. Page 150/185
80. Scene 15 Duration 08:01 Panel 4 Duration 00:12 Notes She climbs up it for a time, running past miscellaneous paintings. Page 151/185
81. Scene 15 Duration 08:01 Panel 5 Duration 00:13 Notes Then, the camera starts to turn towards the other wall. Page 152/185
82. Scene 15 Duration 08:01 Panel 6 Duration 00:15 Notes But there isn't one there. She's high above the city. It's a clear night. Page 153/185
83. Scene 15 Duration 08:01 Panel 7 Duration 00:15 Notes The stairway keeps going upward to the stars. Page 154/185
84. Scene 15 Duration 08:01 Panel 8 Duration 00:12 Notes Eventually, the stairs end on the side of a mountain. The bridge leads into a dense forest. Page 155/185
85. Scene 15 Duration 08:01 Panel 9 Duration 00:12 Notes The camera tracks Silvia as she ventures into the woods. Page 156/185
86. Scene 15 Duration 08:01 Panel 10 Duration 00:12 Notes She moves through the foliage with purpose, she knows the path. Page 157/185
87. Scene 15 Duration 08:01 Panel 11 Duration 00:12 Notes She climbs up a set of rocks. Water flows down from them into the brush. The water produces a faint mist. Page 158/185
88. Scene 15 Duration 08:01 Panel 12 Duration 00:12 Notes The rocks jut out onto the ocean. Silvia's chasing a ship sailing into the sunrise. Waves crash wildly against the rocks. Page 159/185
89. Scene 15 Duration 08:01 Panel 13 Duration 00:12 Notes she stands firmly on the ledge overlooking the sea. She watches the ship go away into the distance. Page 160/185
90. Scene 15 Duration 08:01 Panel 14 Duration 00:10 Notes Then the waves return with great force, covering the screen and buffeting Silvia. Page 161/185
91. Scene 15 Duration 08:01 Panel 15 Duration 00:19 Notes Once they dissipate, she's in a cemetery. Grey skies. There's a lone candle lit on the grave she stares at. Page 162/185
92. Scene 16 Duration 07:08 Panel 1 Duration 01:23 Notes Smash cut to present day Silvia. She defeatedly plays the chord that goes into the slow part of the music. Page 163/185
93. Scene 16 Duration 07:08 Panel 2 Duration 01:23 Notes The sounds of the world around return. The rain feels heavier. Page 164/185
94. Scene 16 Duration 07:08 Panel 3 Duration 02:02 Notes But not as heavy as Silvia's breathing. Page 165/185
95. Scene 16 Duration 07:08 Panel 4 Duration 01:08 Notes She's stopped playing. Shaking, she leans on the piano for support. Page 166/185

100. Scene 17 Duration 34:15 Panel 5 Duration 01:22 Notes She's hyperventilating. She bumps into the stool as she pulls down on her hair. Page 171/185
101. Scene 17 Duration 34:15 Panel 6 Duration 02:15 Notes She looks to the stairwell, grasping at her arm a little too hard. Her hair is mottled now. Page 172/185
102. Scene 17 Duration 34:15 Panel 7 Duration 02:03 Notes She looks to the entrance behind her. She grasps at her necktie. Page 173/185
103. Scene 17 Duration 34:15 Panel 8 Duration 02:09 Notes She pulls outward on the tie. Her neck feels too tight. Page 174/185
104. Scene 17 Duration 34:15 Panel 9 Duration 02:02 Notes Pulling at the clothing around her throat, she jolts up in a sudden burst. Page 175/185
105. Scene 17 Duration 34:15 Panel 10 Duration 02:17 Notes She gives up. Her arms flop down to her sides. Page 176/185
106. Scene 17 Duration 34:15 Panel 11 Duration 01:18 Notes Her head moves towards the candle in the foreground. Page 177/185

109. Scene 17 Duration 34:15 Panel 14 Duration 02:11 Notes She gazes longingly into the flame. Page 180/185
