SCENE 1 THE DRIVE
Frank is driving his son to drop him off for a mountaineering trip. They make light jokes but his son is nervous about the climb, Frank encourages him and distracts him by talking about what dinner his son wants when he gets back from the climb. "Pasta night?"
His son gets out of the car, they say goodbye and then Frank gets a bad feeling and sits with it.

Frank is devastated and spirals emotionally.
SCENE 3: HOSPITAL
