a girl meeting someone she missed on a quiet street.
00:00 – the camera sits behind her shoulder. she's holding a phone and a water bottle. you see the storefront glow but not her face.
00:04 – she looks up. her eyes are red. her lips press together the way they do when you're trying not to cry.
00:08 – it arrives. not a grin. the kind of smile where the sadness hasn't left yet but something warm just broke through.
00:12 – she holds it. the smile steadies. her eyes soften. the street blurs behind her and you forget you're watching a render.
