Scene one.
An unlit city street. A lone passerby hurries to leave, but suddenly stops, drawn in by a sound that suddenly appears. A piano plays, someone begins to sing, but the words are difficult to make out; only “…I love the world…” is clearly audible. A dark silhouette appears behind the passerby. The passerby falls.
