Is It Real Cause’ It’s Online? Lyrics
Tires SCREECH outside. Dude 2 stands up. There's a small crash outside
Yelling
VOICE: FREEZE!
GUNSHOTS
The Boy and Dude 2 look at each other
Dude 1 kicks open the door. He starts firing. Dude 2 falls. A mist of red puff spurts from his chest. He's screaming
Dude 1 turns to The Boy and shoots
Black screen. The Boy is dead…
...it’s all a cycle
Someone’s gasping for air. Like someone who almost drowned
The Boy sits up. He’s younger. It’s still dark, save a warm, burning light. The Boy stands up. It’s a campfire
The Boy walks towards the light
…don’t walk towards the light
Yelling
VOICE: FREEZE!

...it’s all a cycle

The Boy sits up. He’s younger. It’s still dark, save a warm, burning light. The Boy stands up. It’s a campfire
The Boy walks towards the light
…don’t walk towards the light
The Boy stops, gauging the fire. Heaven?
The Boy is close to the fire now. He sees s’mores ingredients. And there’s a s’more already made, waiting for him
…I’ve been here before
This is definitely not heaven. The Boy picks up the s’more
…You ever think we're in hell? This is all hell
The Boy knows he has to look up now. And he knows what will be there when he does. He’s trying not to. It’s excruciating
The Boy looks up. There She is. Not Naomi or Nyla or Vanessa. But Her. She’s smiling. Her tongue isn’t out, but if she was an emoji she would be a smiley face with the tongue out
The Boy looks her on, silent. No mouth emoji
HER: I guess you never really left
THE BOY: I left this place years ago
She laughs
HER: There’s more to getting off the bus than just getting off the bus
SHE motions to the s’more in his hand

HER: There’s more to getting off the bus than just getting off the bus
SHE motions to the s’more in his hand
THE BOY: I know that. This place feels like a light year ago. I’m not a kid anymore. None of this matters. You don’t matter
HER: Who are you trying to convince?
The two are deadlocked. The Boy gives in. The s’more falls out of his hand
THE BOY: Where did I go wrong?
HER: For starters, you showed up
She laughs again. The Boy doesn't
THE BOY: You did too. Help me
By now the scene is fully fleshed out. They are at the last day of camp. Kids are getting on the bus home. The Boy turns to face it. She comes up next to him
HER: I am. Remember who's real this time
She gets on the bus. The Boy smiles. He gets on the bus too
