The other boy picks up a stone while walking and throws it at Yishai. The stone passes close to Yishai's feet, barely missing him.
YISHAI (frightened, through tears)
Please, stop!
The second child bends down and takes a stone while walking and throws it at Yishai. The stone passes close to Yishai's feet, barely missing him. Yishai is overcome with fear and starts running, stumbling because of the weight of his backpack. The boys laugh and continue to throw stones at him. One of the stones hits the backpack, and another hits his leg, causing him to fall halfway on the open pavement, amidst the lumps of sandy soil. Confused, he continues to run, abandoning his bag, his face crying, one of his knees covered in blood and sand from his fall.
FADE OUT.
INT. DAY. TREATMENT ROOM
Helena is seated in her executive chair, completely engrossed in her computer tasks. The room remains empty. The painting of the "stranger" gazes at her with a shadow of a smile, his eyes displaying amusement. Helena senses that the painting somehow deceives her. From time to time, she glances at the artwork, feeling its presence interfering with her focus on business matters. A knock on the door precedes its partial opening, and Mati’s head peeks in.
MATI
Helena?
Observing that Helena is alone, Mati enters the room.
