Scene One

Setting: A modest parlour with traditional Yoruba decor. Chinedu and Lola sit close together, their hands almost touching. Across from them, Lola’s parents sit stiffly with stern expressions, arms crossed.

Background music: Soft, emotional tune.

Chinedu (to Lola, softly): "No matter what, I’ll stand by you."

Lola (smiling but anxious): "I know, Chinedu."

Camera pans to Lola's parents, their disapproving glances clear.
