EXT. AMA’S BALCONY – NIGHT

INT. TECH STARTUP OFFICE – DAY

CLOSING MONOLOGUE (Ama’s Diary Entry)

AMA (V.O.): “Sometimes, affection casts shadows. Not every admiration is meant to bloom. I’ve learned that silence can be mistaken for consent, and kindness for invitation. But I will always choose integrity, even if it costs me love or friendship.”
