Chapter 5 - Forgetful Genius

The scene starts with the flashback of a few days ago before Daniel arrived the CH school, in empty classroom: 

Rebex asked Zavinx curiously about "Sir what is the process named to convert people into cyborgs... I do not clearly understand, please help me" and wanting to know more about it, Zavinx tells him he has told him in private and in class about 5 times now. While Cleo goes through Rebex notebook eyes wide but silent "cracking the borgification case" many calculations, probabilities and complex questions solved on the book, written by Rebex but he keeps forgetting. Then Rebex narrows his eyes looking at Zavinx and the scene transitions to the present: 

Rebex after this narrowing his eyes to Zavinx being taken away by the authorities for being the "mole", then he says to his friends while Baelyn has Daniel in a corner dominating his presence but flirtier, Rebex says "I cannot even believe zavinx was responsible for this!" 

Cleo, Briana, Aura and Arrow look at Rebex with annoyed faces now, saying "Didn't Daniel just tell us his entire plan of framing zavinx...." 

Rebex holds his head: "WHAAAAA-" 

flashback again (scene continue from ep 3): 

Daniel walking behind and his friends looked at him stunned after Daniel had said, "oh i did it." 

Rebex: "You couldn't possibly have... that's possible only if you framed him meticulously" 

Daniel hands towards rebex: "There you go! my forgetful genius!" 

Cleo: "I'm still bleeding from my palms..." 

Daniel: "Same." 

(closeup to both of their palms because they both had to smash the glass to make the framing look real) 

Then return to present: 

Briana looks at Cleo's palms bandaged around cloth: "Don't hurt yourself just for a plan, okay? even if Daniel tells you to." 

Cleo: "What can I say... he has never failed to amaze me." 

Scene shifts towards the corner of the room where Baelyn is talking to Daniel. 

Baelyn has one of her arms on the wall while standing with an arm on her waist and legs standing twisted leaned close to Daniel. "You are quite a brave boy you know that." 

Daniel (afraid eyes close and arms wrapped around his face): "Ma'am please don't hurt me." 

Baelyn (affectionate): "Aww... You saved me.. You saved your friends.. you even helped catch the mole. And also you're adorable...You are mine from now, okay?..." 

Daniel looks up slightly relieved: "Ma'am, I can't do that..." 

Baelyn slightly angry comes closer: "Why can't you be mine. Obsessively of course." 

Daniel: "I have someone." 

Daniel tries to get going from the side. 

Baelyn jealous and stops him again stopping his way 

"Hey! Just tell me who your protector is... I kind of want to meet her... just to talk of course." 

Daniel: "Ma'am I framed Zavinx because he wanted to kill us." 

Baelyn: "What? Hah!" (Baelyn laughs as she cannot believe it) "Nice one Daniel." *She pats his head and is leaving looking at him as she leaves. 

"Don't think you're safe. from me though... haha!" 

Baelyn opens the door and goes out, then the transitions to Grace entering her house from the same position where Baelyn left the office room, Daniel walks towards her from his room 

After this scene shifts to Grace and Daniel talking in Grace's home, she cooks while Daniel talks to her: "You've too many guards outside." Grace: "They're for you, Danny!" Daniel: "I mean you need it more than me.." Grace: "Come look at this...." Grace made a cake for Daniel, "Happy Birthday Hope." (and that cake is dedicated to his late mom.) Daniel is totally numb, "Tha-than-k y-you." Grace hugs him. 

Then zoom in to a small speaker in Grace's room titled "My Heartbeat. ❤️" beating once. 

Scene cut. 

Scene changes to a woman with pregnant belly. Doctors near her are preparing their instruments. She asks: "Will my child be okay? doctor?" 

doctor: "Absolutely! Please cooperate Jessica." 

She's scared and looks outside the window. Then her 12 yr old daughter sitting outside on chair alone with her bag on the side thinking to herself face, as in her palms she looks at her mark sheet of school. It says "Well Done! You come very close to your inherent threshold! All the best for the future." 

The daughter then folds the sheet smiling like she cannot wait to tell her mom as she glances towards the maternity ward. 

Scene changes to city futuristic view huge scrapers that spiral down city then again, it changes to a penthouse living room- 

A new character- Abyss' home: 

Abyss opens the door then goes back to sit on a chair while drawing on a page. 

"My name is Abyss Vexler, I love how us humans- wait a second." 

He goes and closes the door then sits back again, drawing. 

"I love how these humans, God's most intelligent creation obsesses over losses. Yet we keep on convincing ourselves to keep losing so that one day we win." 

He goes and opens the door again. Then sits back. 

Scene changes to Abyss in a techno garden with a butterfly on his finger. While the monologue goes on. 

Abyss: "Progress shouldn't mean to suffer more just to be our perfect version one day." 

"I try to sit here in this garden, contemplating life, more like complaining about it. Haha." 

Scene again changes to Abyss drawing in his room; the door is closed again. 

Abyss: "People act cold, hide their inner self. But I just sit in my room drawing whatever comes to mind. Being honest." He says as he just completed his drawing and put down the pencil. 

The scene again changes to the garden. 

Abyss sees the butterfly go away from his finger. He gets up and looks around, then walks while his monologue plays. 

Abyss: "I'm at a loss. All I possess is skin and bones. Just like the rest of us. Yet. People are cursed from intensity-...." 

Abyss now in the washroom scene washing his face splashing water on it. While his monologue continues: 

"Why is it that I feel at peace. While others suffer? I must change this. People need me." 

Scene changes to Abyss leaving the room in which he was drawing, and then the camera turns down to reveal an empty clear page. Scene cuts. 

Scene changes to a man in his flying car roaring past the sky and skyscrapers at full speed, the camera angle from the right side of the car locked towards it as it moves fast. The man's car deck glints with a photo, his lovely family, his wife (the same woman Jessica, who was just shown giving birth) and his daughter in the phone lock. He smiles then looks ahead, focusing on the sky. 

A rocket is fired from a distant forest location towards the same car in the sky. 

The scene slowly fades to black. 

Episode ends.
