One particular flashback I would like to focus on is the punishment of Melodie and Sienna's father. This would preferably occur during Melodie's monologue:
"And what has my family ever done for me! They abandoned me to rot in the forest, framed as a traitor and spy after our father left for the modern world. Do you really think that because we share the same blood that I should have felt something? I don’t even know you. I was unaware of your existence until the Woodland Queen spoke to me of you and issued me to track you down...Our father defied her rule and she tortured him. He escaped and she doesn’t know how. She’s been trying to get me to tell for years. I have no idea what he did. He left before I could talk, leaving my mother to raise me on her own. "

Another possible flashback I am considering is one during the last scene when Melodie kills the Woodland Queen. However I am not quite sure this would work with the flashback on the screen. Instead I think it would be very effective if Melodie hears her mother's begging and pleading voice in the background whilst she stands above the Woodland Queen. I also think it would be very effective to have the voices stop as soon as the Woodland Queen is dead.
