show drone footage of Taman Anggrek with a dramatic title
Jason: walks into the set and sits on the chair, adjusting his shirt after sitting down.
Director: “Are you sure you’re ready to tell your story?”
Jason: Yeah, it’s better if I actually address this story, instead of letting rumours continue and worsen the situation.
Director: clapperboard claps twice
Jason: I can remember it as if it was yesterday - because it was.
December 19th, 2022. It was a nice Monday outing. I was actually on school holidays and had just gotten home from a trip to the mall with a few of my friends.
Prior to this, I had actually been getting close to this one girl. On the 19th, the day of the trip to the mall, I had become even closer to her when hanging out, you could say I got a bit too clingy with her.
The day after though, when I was blinded with bliss, she texted me that there were rumours of the two of us swirling around about how we were in love with each other, and that I got too clingy on the trip. That all happened at 9:42 p.m.
Quite possibly, the last time this relationship would stay as a secret.
Cinta: If I remember correctly, I took a break from skating at around 3:16 p.m. and sat next to Nadine and Jason in the rest area, where he laid his head on my shoulder. I didn’t think much of it so I went back to the skating rink after a few minutes. (3:48 p.m)
add a couple flashing images of Jason being clingy to Cinta
Cinta: Someone must’ve noticed him being clingy to me. But the question is, who?
Intro Sequence Starts
Cinta: There were only four other people who could’ve possibly spotted us when the crime took place — because it is a crime.
Our friend Nadine, who was sitting right next to us when the crime had happened, but swore an oath to not speak of it to anyone else.
And 3 other people, Lovely, Karen, and Milano, who were in a totally different friend group, that we happened to run into.
All of which deny having any involvement in this crime or told anyone of what they had witnessed.
Some huge title here about having four suspects
Karen: laughs smugly while shaking her head
Nadine: I would never, you know. I was already used to seeing them together and I would never jeopardise my friendship with Jason and Cinta. I’m one of Jason’s closest friends for Christ’s sake.
Jason: You know, we didn’t know what to do; but luckily we didn’t have to go through this tragedy alone. We had a few connections and managed to get some help.
Evan: Uh yeah; I’m Evan — and I’m a retired police detective.
Immediately, everything’s like “What is going on here?!”
Jason: It was like they were mocking me, or something.
“Yeah, we saw you together”, and we even spread it around — we know you would hate that.
Evan: We’re dealing with truly sick individuals.
Lovely: This is absolutely ridiculous. I don’t even know these people.
Jason: The person who did this clearly knew that our grade is filled with drama and romance deprived prepubescent teens just waiting for their next victim. And in this case, I was unlucky enough to be one of the victims.
Tristan: I mean really, what kind of sick person would do that purposely?
the group is arguing and shouting to each other
Cinta: Just admit it, Vely. We know you did it. It’s better to end this now.
Lovely: No! That’s enough. I’m not listening to this anymore.
Jason: You guys are just the same as those students who are sexually attracted to drama.
Milano: I’m not sexually attracted to drama, asshole!
Karen: I’ve heard enough. I’m leaving.
Milano: It was so obvious after all, you guys were literally streaming together for two hours!
Jason: It’s why your dad left you.
Lovely: starts crying
I’m sorry, this is too much.
walks off frame
Evan: The culprit would be called a rebuttal.
Jovan: There’s only 4 other people in this time frame.
Jason: I’m losing hope, I don’t know how we can find the culprit at this point. But for now, we can’t trust anyone just yet.
