[[A narration box reads: "A short while later..." The scene changes. We look down at a still photograph of a woman and two children. The woman smiles as the two children appear to be playing. The younger brother grins as he holds a ball, while his holder sister seems somewhat annoyed with him. A thumb is visible on either side of the picture, implying it is in some sort of frame.
