[INT. LAUNDRY ROOM – EVENING]

The hum of the dryer fades as MEGAN (17) opens the washing machine to switch loads. As she pulls out a tangle of towels and clothes, something plastic clatters into the drum.

She reaches in—and freezes.

She stares at it, blinking. Her mind races.

MEGAN (to herself):

She grabs her phone, then hesitates. She looks toward the hallway, suddenly unsure.

Her mom, SARAH (mid-30s), calls from the kitchen, cheerful but distant.

SARAH (O.S.):
Megan, dinner in ten!

Megan stands there, test in hand, her expression shifting from confusion to concern.

MEGAN:
…What are you not telling me?
