Panel 1 : Int. Home – Day

Kevin sits at his desk, working on his laptop. Behind him, his bird stands on its cage.

Bird: What if this is as good as it gets?

Panel 2 : Int. Home – Continuous

Kevin rasies an eyebrow as the bird continues.

Bird: What if you’re never as happy, healthy, or successful as you are right now?

Panel 3 : Int. Home – Continuous

Kevin looks visibly annoyed as the bird really drives it home.

Bird: What if it’s just one long, slow slide into irrelevance from here on out?

Panel 4 : Int. Home – Moments Later

The bird is in its cage. A black shroud covering it.

Bird (from under the shroud): Not the self-reflective type I see.
