[00:00 - 00:03 | FRONT-FACING MEDIUM SHOT] A weathered, tattooed man in a dirty tank top sits at a cluttered workbench under a warm overhead lamp. Neon signs glow behind him. He is working on his own mechanical arm on the table, working with focused precision. A fluffy creature besides him watches in anticipation [00:03 - 00:05 | TOP-DOWN SHOT] Overhead cut looking straight down at the workbench. The mechanical arm centered on the table, scattered tools and wires around it. His hands move across the exposed internals with a soldering iron. [00:05 - 00:08 | EXTREME CLOSEUP - EYES] Macro cut tight on his cybernetic eyes, little components rotating. Intense, unwavering focus. Brow slightly furrowed. Eyes dart in small precise movements tracking his work. [00:08 - 00:10 | SIDE-VIEW MEDIUM SHOT] Side profile cut. He leans in, bringing the soldering iron toward a wire junction. Soft neon bokeh in the background. Expression calm and absorbed. [00:10 – 00:13 | EXTREME CLOSEUP - HANDS + SHORT CIRCUIT] Macro on his hands. Tool touches wire, a sharp spark erupts. The arm convulses. Sparks scatter. Smoke rises. The arm goes completely limp. The fluffy creature gasps and then hides inside the can [00:13 – 00:15 | MEDIUM FRONT-FACING SHOT - REACTION] Cut to his face. Eyes close slowly. Jaw tightens. He looks down at the dead arm. With a tired American accent and says: "Dammit! Not again!" No music. The scene continues. MEDIUM FRONT-FACING SHOT — STATIC. The man stares at the dead arm on the table. He doesn't move. The room hums around him. He exhales slowly. Rubs his face with his one good hand. MAN: "Third time this month." A beat of silence. Then movement at the edge of frame. The creature climbs out of the can and waddles over to the arm. It leans in, studying the exposed wires. Tilts its head. Looks closer. Then slowly places both tiny hands on top of its head. Just stands there. The man looks at it. Then at the dead arm. Then back at the creature. It cuts to a side view shot. MAN: "...Yeah, buddy. That's what happens when you buy these cheap after market parts. Seems like I never learn. The man shakes his head. The creature tries touching some wires and nothing happens. The man Just sits there under the lamp, one arm on the table, the other dead beside it. Neon flickers. Smoke still curling faintly from the fused joint.
