Opening Scenes:
Scene 1: Mamia’s Room
(Mamia sits by the window, painting the horizon as the sun sets. Her aunt bursts in, scolding her for wasting time on art.)
Aunt Leela:
“Do you think the world runs on dreams, Mamia? You have responsibilities here!”
Mamia: (without looking up)
“Responsibilities don’t paint sunsets, Aunt Leela. They only drain the colors out of life.”
(Aunt Leela storms out. Mamia stares wistfully at the ocean.)

Scene 2: The Harbor
(Rawat pulls his boat ashore, muscles taut from a long day at sea. His younger brother Amar teases him about his solitary nature.)
Amar:
“Brother, when will you find someone to keep you company? Even the sea is getting bored of your poetry.”
Rawat: (laughs and flicks water at him)
“The sea listens better than people. Maybe you should try it sometime.”
(They spot Mamia, sketching nearby. Amar nudges Rawat.)
Amar:
“She’s not from around here. What do you think she’s sketching?”
Rawat:
“Trouble.”

Scene 3: The Encounter
(Mamia accidentally drops her sketchbook, and Rawat picks it up. He flips through it before handing it back.)
Rawat: (teasingly)
“So, this is how you see our town? Crude lines and half-finished boats?”
Mamia: (snatches the book back)
“Maybe it’s the town’s fault for being so… uninspiring.”
Rawat:
“Then why are you here, Miss Artist?”
(Their eyes lock for a moment before Mamia walks away, leaving Rawat intrigued.)
