INT. BEDROOM. NIGHT. JAMES, young 20s, opens his eyes and blinks twice. Slowly.

He sits up and we see hes in his bedroom. Its bare and dorm-like. Austere and empty. Its a completely blue room. He looks over beside him. Hes alone in his bed. He reaches over to the bedside table and picks up a pair of CLEAR GLASSES. He puts them on and they "flicker" to life. We can see reflections of images and text in the lenses. BENIGN Good evening, James. How may I assist you? The voice is cool and male. Its the glasses OS. JAMES Please play recording number 6. A brief HUMM and then: WOMANS VOICE Hey, cant sleep? JAMES Not tonight. WOMANS VOICE You ok? JAMES ... no. Hes mouthing the words. Hes almost in sync. WOMANS VOICE Whats up? Whats happening? JAMES I dunno. I ... miss you. I miss holding you.
