A quiet city at sunset.
Cars passing. People walking. Normal life."Nothing special ever happens to me… and honestly, I'm fine with that."Cut to Ren, walking alone, earphones in, expression blank
School Scene
.Classroom noise. Friends laughing. Teacher talking.en sits by the window, staring outside.A classmate calls out:
"Yo Ren, you coming with us?"Nah… I'll pass."They shrug and leave."People chase excitement… dreams… something more. I don't get it."
After School – Street
Golden hour. Long shadows. Wind blowing lightly.
Ren walks across a street while checking his phone.
Suddenly—SCREEEECH!!!
A truck loses control, speeding straight toward him.
People scream.
Everything happens too fast.
Ren looks up—
His eyes widen.
The First Death
BOOM.
Darkness.
Silence.???
A strange empty space.
No sound. No light. Just nothing.
Then—
tick… tick… tick…
A faint sound.
RESET
Ren gasps.
He's standing in the same street. Same position.
The truck is coming again.
But—
Everything is… slow.
No… not slow.
Frozen.
Time Stop
The world is completely still.
People mid-motion. Dust in the air not moving.
Ren looks around, confused.
Ren:
"…What…?"
He steps forward.
The truck is inches away—but not moving.
His breathing gets heavy.
Narration:
"This isn't real… right?"
He touches the truck.
It's solid.
Cold.
Real.
Panic
tick… tick…
A strange pressure fills the air.
Ren feels pain in his chest.
Ren:
"…What is this feeling…?"
Instinct kicks in.
He moves—barely dodging the truck's path.
Time Resumes
CRASH!!!
The truck smashes into a pole.
People scream.
Everything returns to normal.
Silence
Ren stands there… untouched.
Shaking.
Heart racing.
Ren (whisper):
"…I should be dead."
Aftermath
Crowd gathers. Chaos everywhere.
Someone asks:
"Are you okay?!"
Ren doesn't respond.
He just stares at his hands.
Night Scene
Ren in his room. Lights off.
Sitting on his bed.
Replay in his head.
Truck. Death. Darkness. Reset.
Realization
Ren:
"…I died."
Silence.
Ren (slowly):
"…and came back."
Test
Next day.
Ren stands at a crosswalk again.
Sweating.
Nervous.
Ren:
"…If it only happens when I'm about to die…"
He steps forward—
A car honks loudly, speeding toward him.
SECOND TRIGGER
Everything freezes again.
Understanding Begins
Ren breathes heavily.
But this time… he's calmer.
He looks around.
Ren:
"…So it's real."
Pain
Suddenly—
A sharp pain hits his head.
Like pressure crushing him.
Ren (gritting teeth):
"Ghh—!"
Ticking Sound Louder
tick… tick… tick…
He feels time is about to move again.
Quickly—he steps back.
Time Resumes
The car passes.
Barely missing him.
New Fear
Ren collapses to his knees.
Sweating.
Shaking.
But now—
There's something else in his eyes.
Not just fear.
Curiosity
Ren (whisper):
"…How far can this go?"
Ending Scene
Dark alley.
Someone watching from the shadows.
A mysterious figure.
Unknown Voice:
"…He survived again."
A faint smile.
Voice:
"Interesting."
Final Shot
Close-up of Ren's face.
Conflicted.
Scared.
But changing.
"The moment before death… is where everything begins."
