Appearance: Similar facial features to Sam but with softer expressions; medium‑length wavy hair, usually wore light, elegant dresses. Looked calm and graceful, but her eyes often held sadness when hiding her secret. Her Story: She fell deeply in love with a woman from outside the high‑society circle.

Appearance: Curl black hair, simple and neat clothing, kind and gentle eyes. Has a quiet, calm aura, but looks like she has carried heavy sadness for a long time.

📜 YEARS AGO — WHEN SAM WAS 10 YEARS OLD (In the big, quiet Anantakul mansion)

Young Sam’s thoughts: Back then, my sister Som was my whole world. She was kind, soft, and always protected me. Grandma was already strict, but as long as Som was there, I never felt too afraid. We grew up knowing our family had many rules — rules about status, reputation, and what was “right.”

📍 THE NIGHT OF THE ARGUMENT (Loud voices echo through the hallway. Little Sam hides behind her bedroom door, listening carefully)

(Som storms out of the house, her girlfriend Linda already waiting in the car. Sam stays behind, pressing her hands over her mouth, tears falling silently — too scared to run after them.)

📍 ON THE ROAD — RAINING HEAVILY (The sky is dark, rain pours hard, and visibility is almost zero)

Inside the car: Som reaches over, gently taking Linda’s hand. She leans down, about to kiss her knuckles softly.

(Just as her lips touch Linda’s hand, a large truck appears suddenly from the curve — hidden by the heavy rain and darkness)

SCREECH! CRASH!!!

📍 SAME NIGHT — ANANTAKUL MANSION (The rain keeps pouring. The telephone rings loudly, breaking the heavy silence)

Caller: Ma’am… this is from Central General Hospital. There has been a serious accident involving a young woman named Som Anantakul. Her condition is critical — you must come immediately.

(Grandma freezes. Her face turns pale, and for the first time, fear shows in her eyes. Little Sam stands beside her, sensing something terrible.)

📍 HOSPITAL WAITING AREA (They rush in, clothes still damp from the rain. Sam holds onto her grandmother’s dress, tears already rolling down her cheeks)

Doctor: (comes out with a sad expression) I am sorry. We did everything we could, but her injuries were too severe. She didn’t make it.

(She falls to her knees, crying uncontrollably. She looks up at Grandma — and in her young heart, a deep anger starts to grow)

(Grandma stays silent, eyes filled with tears she refuses to let fall, carrying the weight of her mistake forever)

Doctor: There is another passenger in the same car — her companion. She is unconscious but stable. We are still monitoring her closely.
