U Scream

We’re viewing a flat graphic that starts with two black hands holding a purple tablet with a blank white screen. As the scene evolves, the screen of the tablet displays a chat interface. We see an avatar of a smiling person with blonde hair identified as ‘Jody,’ along with chat bubbles. The first message from Jody reads, ‘HEY REMEMBER WHEN AARON POSTED THAT MEAN PIC OF KHALIL.’ This is followed by another message from Jody: ‘LOOK WHAT I GOT FROM AARON’S MOM’S TIMELINE,’ which is accompanied by a picture of a person on stage at a concert, with the word ‘SCREAM’ visible on their t-shirt. Jody then sends, ‘WHAT DO U THINK, SHOULD I POST IT AND LET EVERYONE KNOW AARON USED TO LOVE U SCREAM?’ and ‘SERVE HIM RIGHT FOR WHAT HE DID TO KHALIL.’

As the sequence comes to an end, the view pulls back slightly, showing a silhouette of a person holding the tablet, and the words ‘How can you HELP?’ appear on the screen. We also hear the sound of a text message being sent.
