The shot holds on a solitary figure framed by a dark window. Outside, under the warm spill of a porch light, Clark Kent is laughing, his head tilted toward Lana. The scene is idyllic, a still life of a happiness that feels just out of reach. The perspective pulls back to reveal you inside, the chill of the glass seeping into their skin.

A voiceover, thick with yearning and resignation, speaks of a love with nowhere to go.
