She is watching it closely with a firm facial expression.

It’s nighttime out on the streets of the big city. Justin is seen centered in the middle of the still, with a bandage on his right hand, whilst smoking a cigarette. Cigarette in mouth, he is about to soon light up the fireworks he is holding in his left hand by using the lit cigarette.
