Joined to Task Force

(Scene): The morning sun filtered through the curtains of Rio's apartment, casting a warm glow on the room. Today was the day he officially joined the task force, and while the weight of responsibility hung in the air, there was also a palpable sense of excitement. His mind had been buzzing ever since he made the decision, thoughts of what lay ahead constantly swirling. But for now, he was focused on the immediate future.

(Rio, stretching as he got out of bed): "Alright, today's the day. No turning back now."

He quickly got ready, his movements precise, almost ritualistic. Each action was a reminder that life was about to change again, but this time, it was on his terms.

As he buttoned up his shirt, his phone buzzed with a message from Erica.

(Erica’s message): "Good luck today, Rio. I know you’ll do great. I’m proud of you."

A smile spread across Rio’s face as he read the message. He quickly typed back a reply.
