  First scene: In the opening scene, we will first show the iconic snap along with the Nintendo Switch animation. My partner Katherine will be sitting down playing a game on her Nintendo Switch. Her demeanor will be sad, and this is because she's playing the game by herself and not with friends. She will be at home with casual clothing on such as a hoodie and sweatpants. This is to show the comfort of her being in her own home, which is familiar to all of us. Second scene: To mirror the opening scene, the following show will show me sitting in my home playing with my Nintendo Switch. I will also be wearing casual clothing like a hoodie and biker shorts.
