Scene: A quiet hospital office late at night. Rain taps against the window. President Kutcher sits across from Dr. Luka Kovač.

President Kutcher:
You ever see scars like this, Doc? Not the ones on the skin… the ones on the timeline. Every time you try to fix something, it leaves another mark.

Dr. Kovač:
In war I saw many scars. Sarajevo, Vukovar… people think scars mean the wound failed to heal. That isn’t true. A scar means the body survived.

President Kutcher:
Hollywood sells the fantasy that you can go back and make everything perfect. That’s what The Butterfly Effect was about. Change one thing… save everyone.

Dr. Kovač:
But life is not a film script. You cannot erase pain. Only transform it.

President Kutcher:
So how do you heal something like that?

Dr. Kovač:
First—you stop reopening the wound. Second—you clean it with truth. And third—you give it time. Even the deepest scars fade when the body is allowed to heal.

President Kutcher:
Truth, huh? That might be the rarest medicine in Hollywood.

Dr. Kovač:
Maybe. But it is still the only cure I know.
