Claire meets Rex
In this moment, when Claire and Rex first meet, I wanted to highlight the beauty of their unknowing connection. Claire is naïve, unaware of the secrets buried deep within her, and Rex, with his own hidden past, sees her innocence as something to protect. But both of them are standing on the edge of a precipice, unaware of the chaos about to unfold. What intrigued me most about this dynamic is how both characters think they have control, but in reality, their lives are already tangled in fate’s web. Rex's initial view of Claire as 'cute and innocent' sets the stage for how their relationship will evolve — it's all about contrast, because neither one of them is as simple as they seem, and soon, they'll both discover just how much they’ve underestimated the storm brewing inside of them.
