“WHOA!”

Panel 1:LOW ANGLE. JUDY, a young woman with bright red hair and a kind face, is covered in orange juice. She looks surprised but not angry.

“Oh!”

“Oh my gosh! I am SO sorry!”

Panel 3:MEDIUM SHOT. DEX is frantically trying to wipe orange juice off JUDY's shirt with napkins.

“Let me... let me help. I didn't see you there.”

Panel 4:CLOSE UP on JUDY's face. She's starting to smile, despite the mess.

“It's okay, really. Accidents happen.”

Panel 1:MEDIUM SHOT. DEX and JUDY are standing amidst the mess. DEX is still holding a handful of napkins.

“I still feel terrible. Let me buy you another lunch? And maybe... a new shirt?”

Panel 2:CLOSE UP on JUDY's eyes. She's considering his offer.

Panel 3:MEDIUM SHOT. JUDY smiles warmly at DEX.

“Lunch sounds good. But skip the shirt. I have a spare in my dorm.”

“Great! I'm Dex, by the way.”

“Me too. It's... nice.”

Panel 4:DEX leans in and kisses JUDY gently.

Panel 1:MEDIUM SHOT. DEX and JUDY are in a heated debate in DEX's dorm room. Books are scattered around, and they're both gesturing emphatically.

“But the author clearly intended for the protagonist to be seen as a symbol of societal rebellion!”

Panel 2:MEDIUM SHOT. JUDY counters DEX's argument with equal passion.

“I disagree completely! It's about the individual's struggle against conformity, not outright rebellion!”

Panel 3:CLOSE UP on DEX's face. He's smiling despite the intensity of the argument.

“You know, I love how passionate you get about these things.”

“Dex...?”

“Yes! Yes, of course, I will!”

“Judy: (Exasperated but smiling) Okay, okay, everyone settle down! Who wants pancakes?”

Panel 1:Judy looks up from her book, smiling warmly at Dex. Close up on her face.

“Judy: How could I forget? That dog was traumatized for weeks!”

Panel 2:Dex and Judy are sitting on a park bench, watching the sunset. They are older now, with wrinkles and silver hair. They are holding hands.

“Dex: It's been quite a ride, hasn't it?”

Panel 3:Close-up on their intertwined hands. The hands are aged, but the grip is firm and loving.

“Judy: The best ride of my life.”

Panel 4:Slightly wider shot of the park. A young couple is walking by, laughing. Dex and Judy watch them with knowing smiles.

“Dex: (Softly) They remind me of us, back then.”
