[INT. PARK BENCH – EVENING – SUNSET]

(Maya sits alone on a bench, holding a crumpled letter. Kabir walks in slowly. She doesn’t look at him.)

Kabir:
You read it?

Maya: (without looking at him)
Three months too late, Kabir.

Kabir:
I didn’t know how to send it... or if I even should.

Maya: (finally looks at him)
You don’t send letters to people you leave. You send closure.

Kabir: (softly)
It was never about leaving. It was about not being enough.

Maya:
Don’t flatter yourself. You weren’t.
(beat)
But I didn’t need perfect. I needed you to stay.

Kabir:
I was scared.

Maya: (half-smile, bitter)
So was I. But I didn’t run.

(Long silence. She stands up.)

Maya:
You don’t get to rewrite the ending now. This chapter’s closed.

Kabir: (tears up, whispers)
Can I at least be the footnote?

Maya: (pauses, then walks away)
You were always just the prologue.
