SCENE 1
EXT. THE STREET — DAY
450Please respect copyright.PENANAS7OEnGREhd
On the chattering streets of Mentanos, people roam the streets. Stores and shops opened one next to another, and a marketplace can be seen around the corner. The sun was bright but not in a way that would make people tired—every corner’s bustling with sound.
Lively but slow-paced.
OLIVER, in a commoner’s clothing, walked down the street, examining.
Expression soft.

OLIVER continued walking around, getting near a corner of two streets.

OLIVER (CONT'D)450Please respect copyright.PENANAKjADEXBHR1
Really lively. Not half bad.
450Please respect copyright.PENANAbssUI190Rw
As OLIVER’s speaking, a girl (ELENA), around age 16, wearing a simple and convenient commoner-styled dress, hair let down and decorated with some hair accessories, carrying a big box in her arms, walked out from the other street. ELENA and OLIVER bumped into each other, causing the box to fall from ELENA’s arm, and things inside of it spread out onto the ground.
OLIVER quickly knelt down to help pick up the objects. ELENA followed and helped.

ELENA led OLIVER to the place she was heading. Chatting inaudibly as ELENA shows OLIVER around the city. Passing by booths of fruits and vegetables, some restaurants, and stores of bread, shoes, furniture, etc.
Crowds swarm around booths at the various food stalls, savoring the delicious aroma floating in the air.
OLIVER smiled warmly at ELENA.
