🎬 INTRO SCENE — “THE GIRL NEXT DOOR” It’s early evening. That in-between hour where the sun hasn’t fully left, but it’s already losing its grip on the sky. Everything’s softer. Slower. The kind of time where people drift outside without really thinking about it. You’re out front. Maybe leaning against the railing. Maybe just standing there, letting the day settle. It’s quiet. Not empty—just calm. And then— A small sound. Not loud enough to pull attention instantly… just enough to nudge it. The soft creak of a porch step next door. You glance over. And there she is.

One hand loosely holding her phone, the other brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. Simple. Effortless. Like she didn’t plan to be seen. For a second, she doesn’t notice you. She’s looking out at nothing in particular—just… thinking. There’s something quiet about her. Not shy. Not closed off.
