A person in a black cloak and white mask stands in a living room. The black cloak covers the person's entire body with a hood pulled up over the person's head and black gloves covering the person's hands. The white mask has a fixed, cartoonish expression that resembles a generic ghost face. The mouth, nose, and eyes are indicated with blacked out dents. The mouth shape is an exaggerated skinny oval that signifies a scream. The nose is indicated by a small black nostril hole similar to that of a skull. And the eye dents are large oblong shapes that give the expression of a furrowed sorrowful brow. The mask has dirt splotches on it with some of white paint wearing off. The person holds a large hunting knife in their right hand about shoulder height with the tip pointing slightly to the mask as if gesturing towards themselves.

Jennifer Lopez and Josh Duhamel sit on a beach with palm trees and rocks behind them. Lopez sits to Duhamel's left. She wears a white wedding dress, its bottom hem stained with dirt and the left sleeve ripped off. Her hair falls loosely past her shoulders looking tangled and wind blown. Duhamel looks equally disheveled. His white suit blazer with black lapels is blown up so the bottom hem folds over his shoulders. His black bowtie is skewed and his left upper cheek has a cut dried with blood. Lopez and Duhamel hold hands, with Duhamel cupping both his hands around Lopez's right one.

Storm Reid sits in a dark bedroom, the only light coming in from an open door that leads to a light hallway. Reid's face is lit up with the cold, bluish light characteristic of a computer screen, though the computer cannot be seen as the audience seems to be viewing her from the screen's perspective. Reid holds a cellphone to her right ear. Her lips are slightly open, her eyes staring at the screen in front of her. She looks scared, her face a little flush, maybe from crying. She wears a green cardigan with a navy blue t-shirt underneath.
