Transcription

[[The scene shifts. We see a city street from above as cars and trucks zoom past dark store fronts. Rain beats down in a heavy downpour.]]

[[Inside one of the shops, an unidentified person sits at a table in what appears to be a restaurant or cafe. A woman's hand rests on the table next to a cup of coffee. We peer through the window and the sheets of rain to see the deli across the street. Inside, a familiar face sits at a booth. A younger version of Trudy seems despondent, lost in thought. The customer in the foreground muses to themselves as they watch her.]]
Mystery Woman: [Thinking] There she is. I have spent months--of MY time--tracking her down... analyzing her future and her past, deciding when would be the best time to reacquaint us. I wanted to wait for her to get STRONGER... but the path she's on will lead to more LOSS. There will be no better time than now.

[[We focus closer on young Trudy as she begins to cry.]]
Mystery Woman: [Thinking] Here, she is at her most vulnerable. Rejected, discarded, alone... her future is one bleak failure after another... until HE sets her on another path. I must not let that path surface, at all costs.

[[Our perspective flips, and the mystery woman is finally revealed to be the elder Empress Trudy. She obscures her face from the other customers in the cafe with a hood drawn over her head, but we can plainly see the devilish smirk on her face.]]
Empress Trudy: [Thinking] I will mold her again in my image, shape her fragile will into my own. Then she will reacquire her destined greatness and take the ample opportunities to come in her future. I will be reborn and this world will once more be mine to command...
