Camera
Slow cinematic push-in.

Natural handheld movement.

Action

Mateo slowly closes his fingers around the pendant.

His breathing becomes uneven.

He stares at it as memories of Elena flash across his mind (no flashback visuals, only conveyed through his expression).

His shoulders slump.

For a brief moment, he struggles to stay composed.

He presses the pendant tightly against his forehead, closes his eyes, and exhales deeply as if blaming himself for not reaching her in time.

A tear begins to form but never fully falls.

He whispers almost silently:

"I'm sorry..."

Cold wind moves through the abandoned industrial yard.

Everything else remains silent.

Without letting go of the pendant, he answers.

Dialogue

Unknown Voice (distorted, calm):

"You should have stayed on the pitch, Reyes."

Mateo's face changes instantly.

The sadness disappears.

Anger replaces it.

His grip tightens around the pendant until his knuckles turn white.

Mateo (furious):

"Where is she?!"

Silence.

His knuckles become slightly bloodied.

He doesn't care.

Still clutching Elena's pendant tightly in the other hand, he leans against the pillar for a brief second, trying to regain control.

He wipes the tears from his eyes with the back of his sleeve.

Then straightens up.

His expression changes completely.

Fear is gone.

Only determination remains.

"I'm coming for you."

No music for a beat.
