#wofTurtle #wofUmber
A shot of the scene from above. Turtle is sitting to the left, touching his face as if to wipe away a tear. Umber is getting up from his bed perch and approaching Turtle calmly. Text: TURTLE: Why did I ever stake so much of who I am on this person I barely even know? After everything that has happened, or rather didn't happen… Knowing that I'm the one who got lucky, and that likely nothing is going to change for any of my brothers who are still waiting… I just can't think of that stranger as my mother. I don't know if that makes me ungrateful? A picture of Turtle and Umber sitting close together. Umber is gesticulating while talking from the heart. Turtle listens and looks at him with a smile. Text: UMBER: Not at all. That's actually the way it usually goes where I'm from. TURTLE: Oh… right, yeah. UMBER: I get what you mean though. You don't have to feel beholden to a person just because, after years of ignoring you, she suddenly decided to show you the bare minimum of decency. It's fine for you to feel the way you do. You don't owe her your consideration. TURTLE: Thanks, Umber. ... Close up of Turtle looking wistfully into the distance. Text: TURTLE: Perhaps... I might write her a letter some time. You know, like, whenever I have a free moment and nothing else is going on. UMBER: Ah yeah, that might take a while, ha ha. Webs has been saving all the material you guys missed while you were gone. You're probably gonna be drowning in homework for a while. TURTLE: Ah. That's okay. She's waited so long to talk to me. It's clear she's fond of waiting, so I'll let her enjoy herself a little longer. The same close up of Turtle as before, but now he is looking towards the viewer (Umber) with his expression shifting into a goofy, dopey smile. Picture of Turtle and Umber side by side. Turtle is laughing happily while Umber gives him an encouraging grin and a playful punch in the shoulder. Text: UMBER: Look at that. Son of the year right here.
