The feature film could start by mirroring the events of the short film with partial changes.
The Gatekeepers run past Rogue, soaking his shoes; his reaction is unphased and uncaring.
Rogue's demeanor and dialogue could reflect a more partial belief in the Heaven's law.
Consider not showing the thief’s face until we see him in the moon for a dramatic reveal.
Action sequence: When the male partner is leaning over the edge about to fall, he sees his gun in his jacket, pulls it out, and fires at the thief. This sequence should emphasize quick, decisive action.
unlike the short film it needs to be believed in this new sequence that rogue will actually go through with killing the couple even tho he still partially hesitates
as rogue is holding the gun toward the husband and wife, the ribbon he was looking out before falls out of his pocket he put it in and it begins to blow away to his right, he cant grab for it as he is holding his gun with both hands but watches as it tumbles toward the courtyards edge. As it nears the edge we see it clearly for a moment as see that it is a child’s ribbon with the name “Dawcey” written on it’s lining. It then blows off the edge into the wind. Right here is also the moment the Male Partner lunges forward to attack.
The male partner grabs the arm that rogue holds the gun in, he pushes the arm downward trying to pry it, during teh struggle the weapon fires ripping a bullet into the concrete near one of the raven. During this struggle the Ravens and Poppet do not move but simple watch Rogue and the Male partner as they struggle for the gun. Eventually Rogue gets a hold of the weapon better and pulls the trigger sending the bullet into the Male’s throat.
causing him to fall to the ground, gargling and bleeding out. The Wife kneels by her dying husband. Rogue points his gun at her but hesitates again. Suddenly, Jorsse steps in and kills the Wife instead
Since Rogue partially carries out the punishment delegated to him by Poppet, the likelihood of repercussions is diminished, unlike the ambiguous ending of the short film.
