''Panoramic view of large room filled with individual chambers with beds in it. The beds are all filled with children, most of them sleeping. However, one chamber is lit, with the child inside sitting up. Fade away to another view of a row of the chambers as the camera slides down. The lit chamber is on the left side. The camera switches to a first-person view of a person walking up the row. The camera arrives at the lit chamber. The shirt the child is wearing has a visible name: John. The camera cuts to a zoomed in view of John's face as it stares at the camera. The camera then switches to a close-up shot of two bright-blue eyes and gray hair. The camera then cuts to a side-view of the person, clearly a female. A shadowy figure straightens in the background.''
