The Train That Skips Ahead
On the slow train to her grandmother's, POPPY wishes the gray stations away. Each time she gives up her window seat, the train quietly skips one stop, and the fields outside grow a shade more golden.
Why this works on camera
Window-framed landscapes as a progress bar — generosity measured in scenery the audience can see change.
What the studio will do
Seventeen stops to go
A seat given, a stop skipped
Grandmother's platform early
