My Soul In the Modern World
chap 3- someone like you
Kishy
(whispering)
Nobody comes by this late. Stay sharp
She opens the door a crack. A MAN IN A SUIT (40s, sharp, cold smile) stands there, flanked by two GUARDS in tactical gear, their faces hidden by visors
Man
MAN IN SUIT (calm, authoritative)
Good evening. I’m looking for Takahashi. I have an… opportunity for her. And you, Lila, can join her
Kishy
Defiant, hand on hip)
Who are you? And how do you know our names
Man
MAN IN SUIT (smirking)
I know many things. Let’s just say I’m interested in people who appear through glowing walls. Come with me. You’ll want to see this
Takahashi rises, hand on her sword, her gaze icy
Takahashi
Speak plainly. What do you want
Man
MAN IN SUIT (unfazed)
To show you your destiny. Refuse, and you’ll never understand why you’re here. Your choice
kishy glances at Takahashi, who nods slightly, her warrior instincts tempered by curiosity. kishy grabs her jacket
Kishy
Fine, but if this is a trap, I’m breaking your nose
Man
(Chucking)
Noted, follow me
EXT. CITY OUTSKIRTS - NIGHT
A sleek BLACK SUV speeds through the city, Takahashi and Lila in the back, the MAN IN SUIT in the front, silent. The GUARDS drive, their movements precise. Takahashi stares out the window, the city’s lights blurring into streaks.
Takahashi
(voice-over)
This world is a maze of glass and noise. This man knows my name, my journey. Is he friend or foe? My blade is ready.
kishy nudges Takahashi, whispering
Kishy
This guy’s creepy, but I’m dying to know what’s up. You good?
Takahashi
(quiet)
I’ve faced worse. Stay close
The SUV pulls into a gated compound, surrounded by high walls and SECURITY CAMERAS. ARMED GUARDS patrol, their rifles glinting. The gates open, revealing a sleek, futuristic BUILDING with glowing blue accents, like a fortress from another world.
Kishy
(whistling)
Okay, this place is intense. What is this, a secret lab?
The MAN IN SUIT says nothing, leading them through a courtyard with manicured gardens and a shimmering FOUNTAIN, its beauty at odds with the heavy security. Takahashi’s eyes scan every detail, alert for danger.
INT. FUTURISTIC BUILDING - DARK ROOM - NIGHT
They enter a dimly lit room, sterile and cold, filled with humming MEDICAL EQUIPMENT. Monitors beep, displaying vital signs. At the center, a WOMAN lies on a high-tech bed, tubes and wires connected to her. She’s unconscious, her face IDENTICAL to Takahashi’s—same sharp features, same dark hair, but pale and fragile. Takahashi freezes, her breath catching.
Takahashi
She ... she's me (shocked)
