“You? Fix my leg?”

PART 2: “Sir… I can help your leg.”

Laughter fills the terrace—soft music drifting under golden lights, glasses clinking, wealthy guests relaxed—

Camera settles on Preston in his wheelchair, raising his wine glass—smiling—

then—

a small barefoot boy steps into frame.

Close.

Too close.

“Sir… I can help your leg.”

The laughter spreads instantly.

Some guests turn.

Others smirk.

Preston looks him up and down—amused.

“You? How long will that take?”

The boy doesn’t hesitate.

“Just a few seconds.”

More laughter.

Phones begin to rise.

Preston leans forward slightly—cold now—

places a checkbook on the table.

“Fix it… I’ll give you a million.”

The air shifts.

Laughter fades.

Something heavier replaces it.

The boy steps closer.

Slow.

Unafraid.

He kneels beside the chair.

Gently places his hand on Preston’s leg.

The music dips—

lower—

darker—

“Count with me.”

Preston smirks again—about to dismiss him—

“This is ridicu—”

He stops.

Mid-word.

His breath catches.

CLOSE-UP—

his foot.

A twitch.

Small.

But real.

His eyes widen instantly.

“…what…?”

The terrace goes silent.

Guests lean forward.

Phones trembling now.

The boy’s voice stays steady.

“One… two…”

The leg moves again.

Stronger this time.

Preston grips the table hard.

Breathing changes.

Faster.

Uncontrolled.

He tries to push himself up—

hands shaking—

hope breaking through fear—

Camera PUSHES IN—

his face collapsing between disbelief and something dangerous—real—

—and just as he begins to rise—

PART 3: “You? Fix my leg?”

“You? Fix my leg?”

The laughter burst instantly—

loud—

careless—

spreading across the patio.

A glass clink echoed.

Guests leaned back—

enjoying it—

watching the moment like entertainment.

The boy didn’t move.

Didn’t react.

“I can help.”

His voice was calm.

Too calm.

More laughter.

The wealthy man leaned forward—

smiling—

mocking—

“Do it in seconds… I’ll pay you a million.”

The words hung in the air.

Then—

something shifted.

The laughter faded.

Just slightly.

Micah stepped closer.

Barefoot.

Unafraid.

He reached out—

gently—

placing his small hand on the man’s leg.

Close.

Still.

“Count with me.”

A beat.

The man smirked—

ready to dismiss it—

“This is ridicu—”

He stopped.

Mid-word.

His face froze.

His breath caught.

A movement.

Small.

Almost nothing.

His foot—

twitched.

Silence slammed the table.

Hard.

No one moved.

No one spoke.

“…what…?”

His voice dropped—

shaken—

unrecognizable.

Micah didn’t look away.

“One… two…”

Quiet.

Steady.

The leg moved again.

Slight.

Real.

A woman gasped.

“…I felt that…”

The words broke out of him—

fragile—

disbelieving—

Close-up—

his eyes—

fear—

hope—

colliding all at once.

Micah looked up—

calm—

certain—

“Keep counting.”

The man tried again—

focused—

desperate—

And the muscle responded.

Again.

Stronger.

The entire table froze.

Phones raised.

Breath held.

Because something impossible was happening—

right in front of them—

And just as he was about to stand—

as if everything was about to change—
