ML- Noir [Hitman]

EX-ARAV [ceo of the company where aanya works]

I. MESSAGE — SMALL MISTAKE

Evening.

---

Aanya stands outside the venue.

Phone in hand.

---

She types.

---

> Aanya (murmur):

“…just the location.”

---

Sends it.

---

Screen dims.

---

She doesn’t notice—

the contact auto-filled.

---

Not Noir.

---

Arav.

---

II. INSIDE — ALREADY TOO MUCH

Hall lit bright.

Music soft.

People dressed sharp.

---

Aanya walks in.

---

Immediately feels out of place.

---

> Coworker 1:

“You came!”

---

> Coworker 2:

“Alone?”

---

She smiles.

---

> Aanya:

“…yes.”

--

> Coworker 3:

“Partner?”

---

> Aanya:

“Busy.”

---

Half-truth.

III. SHE HIDES EARLY

She doesn’t move into the crowd.

-

Takes a seat in the corner.

---

Small table.

---

Glass of water.

Untouched.

---

> Aanya (murmur):

“…just stay here.”

---

IV. SHIFT — THE ROOM CHANGES

Whispers begin.

---

> “CEO is coming.”

> “He never attends these.”

> “What?”

---

Aanya doesn’t look up.

---

Until—

--

V. ENTRY — UNEXPECTED

Door opens.

Arav walks in.

---

Sharp suit.

Controlled presence.

---

Beside him—

his girlfriend.

Polished.

Composed.

---

The room adjusts instantly.

---

Respect.

Attention.

---

VI. RECOGNITION

> Coworker (whisper):

“Isn’t that—”

---

> Another:

“He used to be with—”

Eyes shift.

---

To Aanya.

---

She lowers her gaze immediately.

VII. HER DECISION — NO EYE CONTACT

> Aanya (quiet):

“…don’t look.”

---

She focuses on the table.

--

On nothing.

---

VIII. ARAV — HE SEES HER

From across the room.

---

He spots her instantly.

---

Even before others finish whispering.

---

A flicker—

something sharp—

passes through his eyes.

-

But he doesn’t move toward her.

--

Not yet.

---

IX. SOCIAL MASK

He continues greeting people.

---

> Boss:

“Sir, it’s an honor.”

---

> Arav:

“Just attending.”

---

His tone neutral.

His girlfriend smiles beside him.-

Perfect.

X. AANYA — STILL

She hasn’t moved.

> Aanya (murmur):

“…don’t get involved.”

Her fingers tighten slightly.

---

XI. NOIR — DELAYED

Cut.

Dark alley.

Noir finishing a job.

Blood.

Silence.

He checks his phone.

---

Location pinned.

---

> Noir:

“…late.”

He moves.

XII. BACK TO PARTY — PRESSURE BUILDS

Music continues.

---

People laughing.

Aanya hears it all—

but not really.

Her focus stays inward.

XIII. ARAV — MOVES CLOSER

Not directly to her.

---

But closer.

---

Within her peripheral vision.

---

Enough to be felt.

---

XIV. SHE DOESN’T LOOK

> Aanya (under breath):

“…not now.”

---

XV. THE DISPLAY

Arav turns to his girlfriend.

---

Without warning

---

He pulls her slightly closer.

---

And kisses her.

---

Not soft.

Not private.

Deliberate.

---

Visible.

---

XVI. IMPACT — SILENT

Aanya sees it.

---

Just for a second.

---

Then looks away immediately.

---

Her expression doesn’t break.

--

But something… stills.

--

XVII. HER RESPONSE — WITHDRAWAL

She stands.

Quietly.

---

No one stops her.

---

No one notices.

XVIII. RESTROOM — ESCAPE

Door closes behind her.

Silence.

---

Bright mirror.

Cold light.

--

She walks to the sink.

Stares at her reflection.

---

Long.

---

No tears.

---

Just… blank.

---

XIX. TIME PASSES

Minutes.

---

Then more.

---

She sits on the closed lid.

---

Still.

--

Phone in hand.

---

Screen dark.

---

XX. INTERNAL LOOP

> Aanya (murmur):

“…it’s fine.”

---

A pause.

---

> Aanya:

“…it’s normal.”

Another pause.

--

> Aanya:

“…he moved on.”

---

Silence.

---

> Aanya (very soft):

“…so did I.”

---

But her grip tightens.

---

XXI. OUTSIDE — NOIR ARRIVES

Car stops.

Noir steps out.

Looks at the building.

> Noir:

“…crowded.”

---

He walks in.

---

XXII. INSIDE — HE SCANS

His eyes move fast.

People.

Faces.

--

Noise.

---

No Aanya.

---

XXIII. SOMETHING OFF

> Noir (low):

“…not here.”

---

His expression sharpens.

--

XXIV. BACK — RESTROOM STILLNESS

Aanya hasn’t moved.

Hours feel like minutes

-

Or the opposite.

She leans back slightly.

---

> Aanya (murmur):

“…just wait.”

> Aanya:

“…then go home.”

XXV. FINAL BUILD

Outside—

Noir starts searching deeper.

Inside—

Arav notices she’s gone.

---

But doesn’t move yet.

---

Everyone is still playing roles.

---

Except her

---

FINAL MOMENT

Aanya closes her eyes.

---

Sits in silence.

---

FINAL LINE

> Aanya (whisper):

“…stay invisible.”

---

END

---

Aanya isn’t “fixed.”

She’s just… not alone in it anymore.

---

I. ENTRY — TWO WORLDS COLLIDE

Main hall.

---

Arav stands among executives.

Effortless.

Controlled.

---

No hesitation in posture.

No need to hide.

---

Corporate eyes see a CEO.

Not the man he used to be elsewhere.

--

Across the room—

Noir steps in.

---

Different energy.

---

Not blending.

Not adjusting.

--

Just… present.

---

His eyes scan once—

---

Then stop.

---

On Arav.

--

A beat.

---

Understanding clicks instantly.

---

> Noir (low):

“…so that’s why.”

---

He doesn’t approach.

---

He turns.

---

And starts searching.

Fast.

Quiet.

---

II. RESTROOM — STILLNESS BREAKS

Inside.

---

Aanya hasn’t moved much.

---

Back against the wall.

Sitting on the closed lid.

---

Tears falling silently.

---

Not dramatic.

---

Just steady.

---

> Aanya (whisper):

“…I’m fine.”

---

Another tear falls.

---

> Aanya:

“…I said I’m fine.”

---

Her voice cracks slightly.

---

III. FOOTSTEPS

Outside.

---

Soft.

Measured.

---

Then—

---

A knock.

---

She freezes.

---

IV. THE VOICE

> Noir (outside):

“Open.”

---

She blinks.

---

> Aanya:

“…go away.”

---

> Noir:

“No.”

---

Silence.

---

> Noir:

“Come out.”

---

> Aanya:

“I don’t want to.”

---

A pause.

---

> Noir (calm):

“Then let me in.”

---

She hesitates.

---

Then stands slowly.

---

Unlocks.

---

Opens the door.

---

V. FIRST LOOK

Noir steps in.

Closes the door behind him.

---

He sees her.

---

Sitting again.

---

Dress slightly creased.

Hair a bit messy.

---

Eyes red.

Face small.

---

Looking… unfairly soft.

---

Like a kid trying not to cry.

---

VI. HIS FIRST RESPONSE — NOT WHAT SHE EXPECTS

He doesn’t ask why.

---

He doesn’t react emotionally.

---

He just looks at her for a second—

---

Then:

---

> Noir:

“…you look like you lost a fight with a mirror.”

---

Aanya blinks.

---

> Aanya:

“…what.”

---

> Noir:

“Mirror won.”

---

Silence.

---

VII. CRACK — FIRST BREAK

Her lips twitch slightly.

> Aanya:

“…shut up.”

---

> Noir:

“Accurate statement.”

---

VIII. SHE QUESTIONS THE OBVIOUS

> Aanya:

“…how did you even get in here.”

---

> Noir:

“Walked.”

---

> Aanya:

“This is the women’s restroom.”

---

A beat.

---

> Noir:

“…you care about that now?”

---

Silence

---

Her expression shifts.

---

Almost—

---

A laugh escapes.

Small.

-

Unplanned.

---

IX. HE PUSHES IT

> Noir:

“Should I leave and come back with permission?”

---

> Aanya (through breath):

“Idiot…”

---

> Noir:

“Correct.”

---

X. SHE LAUGHS — AND CRIES

A strange mix now.

Tears still there.

---

But her shoulders loosen slightly.

---

> Aanya:

“…you’re not normal.”

---

> Noir:

“You noticed late.”

---

XI. HE SITS — SAME LEVEL

He doesn’t stand over her.

---

He sits on the floor.

---

Right in front of her.

---

Casual.

> Noir:

“Continue crying.”

---

She frowns.

---

> Aanya:

“…what.”

---

> Noir:

“You paused.”

---

> Noir:

“Incomplete.”

---

She stares at him.

---

XII. HER RESPONSE — CONFUSED

> Aanya:

“…you’re weird.”

---

> Noir:

“Yes.”

---

> Aanya:

“You’re supposed to ask what happened.”

---

> Noir:

“I know.”

---

> Aanya:

“…then ask.”

---

A pause.

---

He tilts his head slightly.

---

> Noir:

“Do you want me to?

---

Silence.

She doesn’t answer

---

XIII. HE CHOOSES FOR HER

> Noir:

“No.”

---

She exhales

---

Relief.

---

XIV. DISTRACTION — HIS WAY

> Noir:

“You left me alone out there.”

---

> Aanya:

“…sorry.”

---

> Noir:

“Unacceptable.”

---

> Aanya:

“I was hiding.”

---

> Noir:

“Poor hiding.”

---

> Aanya:

“No one found me.”

---

> Noir:

“I did.”

---

A beat.

---

> Noir:

“So it failed.”

---

XV. SHE SMILES THROUGH TEARS

> Aanya:

“…you’re annoying.”

---

> Noir:

“Consistent feedback.”

---

XVI. THE REAL DISTRACTION

He leans slightly forward.

---

> Noir:

“Also—”

---

> Noir:

“You were worried I’d get embarrassed.”

---

She freezes.

---

> Aanya:

“…you read that?”

---

> Noir:

“Yes.”

---

Silence.

---

XVII. HE DISMISSES IT — CLEAN

> Noir:

“Wrong concern.”

---

> Aanya:

“…it’s not wrong.”

---

> Noir:

“It is.”

---

> Noir:

“I don’t get embarrassed.

---

A pause.

---

> Noir:

“…people do.”

---

XVIII. SHE LAUGHS AGAIN

> Aanya:

“…that’s worse.”

---

> Noir:

“Correct.”

---

XIX. QUIET MOMENT

Silence settles.

---

But lighter now.

---

She wipes her face.

---

> Aanya:

“…I didn’t want you to see me like this.”

---

> Noir:

“Too late.”

---

> Aanya:

“…and?”

---

A beat.

---

He looks at her.

---

> Noir:

“…not a problem.”

---

XX. SHE LOOKS AT HIM

Long.

---

Trying to read him.

---

Failing.

---

> Aanya:

“…why are you like this.”

---

> Noir:

“Like what.”

---

> Aanya:

“…not asking.”

---

> Noir:

“Because you didn’t want to answer.”

---

Silence.

---

XXI. FINAL SHIFT

She exhales slowly.

---

Leans her head back against the wall.

---

> Aanya (soft):

“…stay.”

---

A beat.

---

> Noir:

“I am.”

---

XXII. OUTSIDE — TENSION BUILDS

Arav notices Noir is gone.

His eyes narrow slightly.

---

Something shifts.

FINAL MOMENT

Inside—

---

She laughs again.

This time a little clearer.

Still with tears.

---

FINAL LINE

> Aanya (quiet laugh):

“…you’re really stupid.”

> Noir:

“Yes.”

A pause.

> Noir (low):

“…but effective.”

---

END
