Two characters sit together, looking up at this scene, discussing how they think it occurred.

The House That Jack Built

„Let’s just go lie down underneath it and see what happens when the strong wind blows,” he proposes looking at her with a cunning smile. “Or we wait for someone veeeery heavy to enter the house. Of course that someone would be unstoppably curious of what’s the view like from that right window over there,“ she gets into his game and points at the window with her finger. “Remember the movie “Love me if you dare“, where they‘d die on the same day beautifully buried in concrete?
