A cinematic scene of Andrew running to find Neil's things after the riot and staring at the zero on the screen with a mortified expression, with music gradually building up, and then cutting to Neil's gut-wrenching screams as his face gets burned in the car.

“andrew minyard has never done anything wrong in his life ever,” i say into the mic.

I want Stolis to have to go to Blitz's apartment. I want him to see the scratched out faces on the pictures that have Blitz in them. I want him to ask about the scars. I want him to realize how deeply Blitz hates himself, how impossible he thinks it would ever be to find love or forgiveness or compassion or grace. I want him to find out the best day of his life was built on Blitz's trauma.

I want him to find out about *just lays there and stares at the wall*. I want him to see her raise her FUCKING HAND to Stolas. I want him to find Stolas’s medication. I want him to find bottles of empty absinthe. I want him to see the covered paintings.
