Hearts Apart

SCENE 1

Lingering Glances

Brightly lit school hallway with sun-filtered windows. — Isabelle stands in front of a display, arranging student artwork. Julien pauses to gather his papers, his gaze subtly drawn to her as sunlight glimmers on her legs through her light tights.

SCENE 2

The Warning

A grand, panelled faculty lounge with bookshelves and old portraits. — Lukas stands at a window, looking onto the courtyard, his expression cool and calculating as he observes Isabelle and Julien laughing together.

SCENE 3

Confession Among Shadows

A shadowy hallway lined with lockers after hours. — Isabelle and Julien stand close, hesitating, their faces illuminated softly by the overhead glow, tension heavy between them.

SCENE 4

Guidance in Quiet Places

Margot's cozy, softly lit office filled with books and potted plants. — Margot sits beside Isabelle, gently placing a hand on her arm as Isabelle stares at the desk, conflicted.

SCENE 5

Shattered Serenity

An empty classroom at dusk, papers scattered on the floor. — Lukas confronts Isabelle and Julien, his shadow looming in the doorway as they freeze, caught mid-conversation.
