1.  EXT.  SUNNYSIDE PIAZZA.  EVENING.
The public toilets in Sunnyside Piazza are cordoned off with blue and white 'Police - Keep Out' tape.  CONNOR and HAYLEY, Sunnyside Security, stand nearby alongside A POLICEMAN.  An SO3 POLICE OFFICER in a white paper suit and face mask forensically examines the inside of the Superloo THOMPSON came out of.

2.  EXT.  SUNNYSIDE PIAZZA.  EVENING.

Nearby, against the wall, some flowers have been laid.  Zoom in on a card with a message that reads:

MESSAGE
You were one in a million.  Heaven got

behind.  It's what I've always dreaded.
M

Pull out to see PEOPLE walking past, oblivious, going home with their shopping, another day done in an endless cycle of repetition.
