Production logo flashes, Title screen flashes, Cut to black. Scene begins with younger [Mai Character] entering a room while crying and throwing his backpack on the ground. He looks towards his mother, who seems to be reading a book: Coraline. She calls him over distressed and worried. He walks over to her and complains about being different. She comforts him and reminds him that he's not different. He thinks he's different because he's autistic.

They go back and forth till the mother gives him a red cap. This cap holds a huge meaning throughout [Main Character]s life. She hands it to him and emphasises how it was given to her by her mother and now she's passing it down to him and tells him to wear it when he feels alone.

We then cut to a scene of young [Main Character] working on his laptop which match cuts to a scene of him in real time working on the laptop. We then see a flashback of [Main Character] being bullied while he's outside. He seems to be bullied by two individuals [Bully 1] and [Bully 2]. He gets bullied and his cap thrown.

Rather than try to fight off the bullies, he tries to save his cap. He then goes up to his moms room to complain to her like he did before. He goes up and checks on his mother. He tries to wake her up but she doesn't respond. He tries again and again but she doesn't wake up, she's dead. We then cut to the present where [Main Character] is mourning his moms death by looking at her portrait and crying.

We get another flashback of [Main Character] where he goes out again. As he's climbing up stairs he sees the two bullies again. They pick him up and throw him on the ground. [Main Character] starts to verbally fight the two bullies. He confronts them. The scene then cuts back to him on the ground showing that his confrontation was just in his thoughts and not an actual thing. We then end with a crane shot of the [Main Character].
