MILANI\S SONG
MY STORY
[THEN TURN IT INTO A SONG]
Title: Milani's Echo
Genre: Supernatural Drama
INT. ABANDONED MANSION - DAY
The camera pans through the dusty, dimly lit rooms of an old mansion. Sunlight filters through cracked windows, illuminating cobwebs and forgotten furniture. The sound of distant, haunting piano music echoes through the halls.
RILEY SAINT
(early 20s, adventurous, curious)
(whispers to herself)
What a place... I wonder what stories you hold.
Riley cautiously steps inside, her footsteps echoing in the silence. She follows the music, drawn to its source.
INT. GRAND PIANO ROOM - DAY
Riley enters a large room filled with faded portraits and dusty furniture. In the center stands a grand piano, untouched yet strangely warm, with a faint glow surrounding it.
As she approaches, the music stops. A chill runs through the air. Suddenly, the ghostly figure of MILANI appears, her expression a mix of sadness and longing.
MILANI
(ghostly, ethereal)
Who dares enter my home?
RILEY
(startled but curious)
I-I’m Riley. I heard the music... It’s beautiful.
MILANI
(sighs, her voice soft)
It was once a part of me. Now, it is all that remains.
RILEY
Why are you still here?
MILANI
(pauses, reflecting)
I am bound to this place, trapped by my sorrow and unfulfilled dreams. I cannot leave until my story is told.
RILEY
(determined)
Then let me help you. Tell me your story.
INT. ABANDONED MANSION - FLASHBACK
The scene shifts to a past memory. Milani, in her prime, is at the piano, surrounded by family and friends, laughter echoing. But the atmosphere darkens as shadows loom, symbolizing betrayal and tragedy.
MILANI (V.O.)
(voice trembling)
Once, I was filled with joy, but darkness crept into my life. Betrayed by those I loved... I lost everything.
INT. GRAND PIANO ROOM - PRESENT
Back in the present, Riley watches Milani, sympathy etched on her face.
RILEY
What happened?
MILANI
A love turned to betrayal... my heart shattered. I played my last song, hoping to express my pain. But it became my prison instead.
RILEY
(reaches out, determined)
Let me help you find peace. We can confront your memories together.
MILANI
(hesitant but hopeful)
You would do this for me?
RILEY
(nods)
Yes. Together, we can break the chains.
INT. ABANDONED MANSION - VARIOUS ROOMS
Riley and Milani journey through the mansion, revisiting pivotal moments of Milani’s past—her joyful piano performances, her betrayal, and the day of her untimely death.
MONTAGE:
Milani plays at a gathering, smiling, surrounded by friends.
A shadowy figure (her betrayer) whispers in her ear, leading to heartache.
Milani collapses at the piano, the last note echoing in despair.
INT. GRAND PIANO ROOM - FINAL PERFORMANCE
Riley stands beside the piano, encouraging Milani to play one last time. The atmosphere is charged with emotion.
RILEY
This is your moment, Milani. Let the world hear your truth.
Milani begins to play, a beautiful yet haunting melody filled with all her pain and love. As she plays, her spirit glows brighter.
MILANI
(emotionally)
Thank you, Riley. This is my farewell.
As the final note hangs in the air, Milani's spirit begins to lift, the light surrounding her growing stronger.
RILEY
(tears in her eyes)
You’re free, Milani. Go find your peace.
Milani smiles, a sense of relief washing over her as she fades into the light.
MILANI
(whispers)
Thank you for believing in me...
Riley watches as the light dissipates, leaving behind an empty room filled with echoes of the past.
INT. ABANDONED MANSION - DAY
Riley stands alone, the piano silent now. She touches the keys gently, a tear rolling down her cheek.
RILEY
(to herself)
I won’t forget you, Milani.
As she turns to leave, the camera lingers on the piano, where a single white rose lies—a symbol of Milani's gratitude and the bond they shared.
FADE OUT.
