- FADE IN:
- INT. BATHROOM - DAY
- The bathroom is filthy, grey sunlight trickling in through a small window high on the wall.
- The door opens and #4263 walks in.
- 4263 is dressed in a black military uniform, its face covered by a large gas mask.
- 4263 surveys the room, and then spots a cracked mirror, leaning against the wall next to the sink.
- 4263 slips backward, trying to avoid its reflection but too late, it sees a bit of itself.
- 4263 kneels in the dust surveying its reflection and slowly touching the gas mask.
- A government sticker labels the mirror a "subversive object."
- 4263 hesitates then looks closer.
- It turns towards the door, but must look again.
- It slowly pulls the mask from its face, groaning as the mask tears flesh where it has been welded into 4263's face.
- The mask loose, 4263 stares into his pale reflection, skin ghostly white.
- There is almost no face, only eyes, and smooth skin where a mouth should be.
- 4263 stares at the mirror, feeling is face, trying to find a mouth, patting his cheeks as his eyes grow wider, even feeling his bald scalp for something, but finds nothing.
- He stays, huddled in the filth by the mirror, tears streaming from his cold, gray eyes.
- FADE TO BLACK.
