Extended Story Planning:

Plot ideas...

• Aurora forced to keep a diary as a means of recovery - brings in narration aspect/reinforce flashbacks.
• Phillip crying - after small bond has been formed. Embarrassed so doesn't come to work. Aurora asks nurse - tells her about Phillip's sister.
• A touch, a kiss - real companionship
• Acceptance of true human form - 5 stages of grief (could use these as a way of portraying characters).
• Montage of inter alias (for Aurora)
• Sneaks into office with Aurora to delete her "life." Saves her. DELETE.

Five Stages of Grief

1. Denial and Isolation.At first, we tend to deny the loss has taken place, and may withdraw from our usual social contacts. This stage may last a few moments, or longer.
2. Anger.
   The grieving person may then be furious at the person who inflicted the hurt (even if she's dead), or at the world, for letting it happen. He may be angry with himself for letting the event take place, even if, realistically, nothing could have stopped it.
3. Bargaining.
   Now the grieving person may make bargains with God, asking, "If I do this, will you take away the loss?"
4. Depression.
   The person feels numb, although anger and sadness may remain underneath.
5. Acceptance.
   This is when the anger, sadness and mourning have tapered off. The person simply accepts the reality of the loss.
