Panel 1: It’s nighttime. A pair of hands are seen rolling together a
magical blunt with sparkles in it. In the distance you see the city
lights.

paper as the blunt emits a soft glow with dancing sparkles around
it.
Panel 3: The girl flicks on a lighter, and goes to light her blunt.

Panel 1: The girl leans her head back and we see smoke wisps as she
exhales.
Panel 2: She brings the blunt away from her mouth, and it is surrounded
by swirling smoke
Panel 3: And passes it to someone else.

blunt. The two are sitting side by side on a window ledge.
Panel 2: He exhales and we see smoke and sparkles
Panel 3: The girl watches him, a pensive expression on her face.

Panel 1: “This is a dream, isn’t it?” Says the girl.
Panel 2: “You being here with me” She continues while we see the guy
take another hit, not making eye contact.
Panel 3: A close up of the guy’s eyes, looking off into the distance. He
says nothing.

Panel 1: The girl looks up into the night sky and says, “I’ve thought
about reaching out”
Panel 2: We see the back of the girl and the side profile of the guy from
the chin down to their waists. “Having you back in my life... what
would that look like?”
Panel 3: The girl turns to look at the guy with a slightly pained smile,
“But I’d rather not hurt you again”.

Panel 1: “Or myself” she continues as she looks down and away.
Panel 2: We see her side profile as she stares out into the distance,
pausing.
Panel 3: We see the back of her head and the distant city lights,
“Doesn’t mean I don’t miss you though”.

Panel 1: “actually” she says, still facing the city lights
Panel 2: “actually, I-!” She turns suddenly towards the guy, wanting to
speak from her heart. “I!”
Panel 3: We see a close up of her eyes, wet with tears.
