At his Grandmother's house in Penang, Wing Sun is seated at a table in the dining room, with the kitchen in view.  Grandmother is sitting at the table telling Wing Sun a story from the Bible.  The house is cozy, and it's raining outside.  There is an air of suspense, but Wing Sun feels safe and secure.

A cinematic, low-angle shot of a weary woman in ancient Near Eastern linen garments, cradling a newborn infant in a dimly lit stone room. Her expression is one of profound grief and exhaustion. In the background, a silhouette of an empty golden pedestal where a sacred artifact once sat. High contrast, dramatic chiaroscuro lighting, earthy tones of ochre and deep shadow.
“So they departed, and came with a great power into the land of Judea, where they sent messengers to Judas and his brethren with peaceable words deceitfully.” (1 Maccabees 7:10, KJVA)

An interior scene.  An old Bible with dog-eared pages, a black leather cover, and words of Christ in red sits open on a table.  The camera sees the Bible at a 45 degree angle.  The table and chair are old and worn, sitting on a worn carpet on a wood plank floor.  There are some pens and highlighters, along with a  red ribbon bookmark, a half-empty drink and some paper clips.  The room is in low-light, and a small window is in the background.  Someone has been studying and just stepped away for a moment.  Some lines in the Bible are highlighted yellow.
So, you look at those captains and then at yourself
and you wonder: “Why them, and not me?”
As you paddle along in your pitiful state,
a canoe you hope no one will see.
But there’s just enough room for those trusted to you
for safe passage, provisions, and tare.
So, you keep to yourself, and you follow the shore,
making passage for those in your care.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. John 8:44 (KJV)
