INT. COZY STUDY – DAY
The room is warmly lit, filled with bookshelves overflowing with colorful books. A soft, melancholic piano melody plays in the background, creating an atmosphere of reflection and hope. LATIGO BAYNE, a woman in her early thirties, sits at a wooden desk, a pen in hand, her brow furrowed in concentration. She takes a deep breath, her fingers poised over the paper.
LATIGO
(voiceover, with a gentle, hopeful tone)
Date: 26/12/2029.
To me in five years…
She pauses, glancing out the window where sunlight filters through the leaves, casting playful shadows on the floor. A soft breeze rustles the pages of an open book nearby.
LATIGO
(continuing, her voice filled with warmth)
Today, I am filling the emptiness I once felt in my heart by committing to continue writing what I love, without stopping, and developing my potential without pause.
She smiles softly, her eyes sparkling with joy as she imagines her future. She leans back in her chair, her hands resting on her lap, and exhales slowly.
LATIGO
(voiceover)
Right now, I have a warm family, a lovely husband, one intelligent child, and another child bursting with creativity. I feel that my life is already worthwhile.
The sound of CHILDREN LAUGHING can be heard faintly from outside, adding to the warmth of the moment. Latigo’s smile widens as she envisions her family.
LATIGO
(voiceover, with excitement)
I feel very good that my works have been released to the market this year, totaling fifty books. In 2025, I will create another fifty or even one hundred more!
She gestures animatedly, her hands moving as if she’s painting a picture of her dreams. The music swells slightly, reflecting her enthusiasm.
LATIGO
(voiceover, contemplative)
I have learned that as time goes by, my works and potential will become more valuable, just like milk that gradually turns into yogurt and then cheese. The longer it is aged, the more expensive it becomes.
Latigo leans forward, her eyes narrowing with determination, her voice steady.
LATIGO
(voiceover)
But for me, continuing to work allows me to grow. Experience will shape me, and I will finally become the teacher I have always dreamed of being.
She pauses, her expression softening as she envisions her future classroom filled with eager children. The sound of a clock ticking softly in the background adds a sense of time passing.
LATIGO
(voiceover, with a hint of nostalgia)
No matter how long it takes, I still want to be a teacher, but I want to be the kind of teacher I desire to be—a fun teacher who is dedicated to training and teaching children.
Latigo’s hand moves to her heart, a gesture of sincerity and passion. The music shifts to a more uplifting tone, reflecting her aspirations.
LATIGO
(voiceover, with conviction)
Remember that you deserve to celebrate every step you take. Each moment of struggle is a stepping stone toward your dreams. The reason you have reached this point is because of your relentless journey.
She takes a deep breath, her eyes glistening with emotion as she signs her name at the bottom of the letter.
LATIGO
(voiceover, softly)
With love and gratitude,
[Latigo Bayne]
The camera slowly zooms out, capturing the serene atmosphere of the study. The gentle music plays as the scene fades to black, leaving the audience with a sense of hope and the understanding that perseverance and passion can lead to fulfillment.
FADE OUT.
