00:00 The video opens with a close up of an elevator calling panel, with the two buttons laid out for up and down. A hand reaches into the frame and presses the up button.

00:04 The elevator door opens to show a young woman woman with dark hair wearing a backpack and long-sleeve shirt, her hands crossed in front of her. She is staring stoically ahead. We see a young man wearing a baseball cap, light colored t-shirt, and a backpack step into the elevator looking at his phone.

00:12 The elevator door closes, and the young woman begins to speak. The young man, who is wearing headphones, looks surprised and answers. They have a short conversation and the man looks quizzically at the woman as the camera jumps to showing her feeling for the braille on the elevator panel, eventually selecting floor 7. After the selection, his face shows a 'not bad' expression.

00:29 The scene cuts to now being inside a hallway of a new, dimly lit apartment building. The woman is walking down the hallway, clearly aware of where she is going. The man comes around the corner, looking at his phone and signs to identify where he is. As soon as he sees her, he rushes to get to her, apparently calling out to her because she stops and waits for him to catch up.

00:41 They have a small animated discussion which ends in her pointing off down the hallway, nodding, and both of them setting off in the same direction walking side by side.

00:49 The scene is now inside a different hallway; the man appears to recognize the number, turns to the woman, and explains that he's in the right place. The woman raises her hand in a 'goodbye' gesture, and the man waves back. He turns to face the door he's standing in front of, knocking on it and waiting. The woman continues to walk down the corridor, her hand brushing the right wall as she goes. The man watches her walk as he waits to be let into the room.

01:06 The door opens and the man is let into the room as the scene fades to black.

01:12 It fades back in to show them sitting across from each other, her with a laptop on her lap and him with a laptop on a low table. He steals a quick glance at her, showing her staring straight ahead wearing headphones, and a furtive smile crosses his face.

01:23 He reaches out coyly to tap her knee; she reacts by swinging her arm out in his general direction. They are silhouetted, but the man appears to chuckle as the scene changes.

01:30 The camera opens on two small pizzas next to each other, pulling back to see them sitting next to each other. They eat while talking, with rapid camera jumps showing conversation as the meal progresses. It ends with him feeding her pizza, both of them smiling.

01:42 A new scene; dark, blurry, rainy, very out of focus. After a few seconds, the camera focuses to show the man staring at his reflection in the window as rain pounds on it from the other side.

01:54 A close-up of a piano; feminine hands are playing a song. The camera switches to behind them, showing the woman playing a song, the man sitting on a couch beside her listening.

02:04 They are now standing in what appears to be an urban train station; no one is around, but they are standing between two sets of tracks that look to be about 15-20 feet apart. Their backs are to the camera, and she rests her head on his shoulder. The sky in front of them is either in the evening or very early morning, with purple hues spreading out across the sky as the sun is not visible. The scene fades out.

02:12 It opens on a modern kitchen; the door at the far end opens and the woman enters. She is comfortable in this place, only touching key places on the walls to verify where she is. She is speaking, but no one responds. It appears to be early morning, with the sun streaming in through the windows.

02:24 We are now inside a bedroom. A bed and a desk are in frame, with the desk fairly clean and the bed very unkempt. It is not immediately obvious if anyone is in the bed or not.

02:30 The camera goes to the open door, facing into the bedroom, and the woman slowly walks into the room. She trips over a small trash can, pausing to set it upright. She then trips over the desk chair, which is laying on its front. She picks it up slowly and maneuvers it to its place in front of the desk.

02:59 Her hands brush the desktop as she does so, and the camera moves to show a closeup of the desk. It shows her feeling used tissues and then discovering a pile of about 15 yellow and red pills.

03:10 She feels the pill container, picks it up, and the scene changes to outside the doorway looking in as before. She drops the empty pill bottle, stunned.

03:17 She steps back, the camera now on her face to show worry and agitation. She begins to trace her way back through the apartment, now always with her hand on the wall.

03:30 It cuts to a black and white version of them eating pizza, but this time with new information. While she is talking, he is distracted, answering when appropriate but digging for his phone with an unreadable expression on his face.

03:39 We cut back to her in the present time, as if she is remembering these scenes.

03:40 Back in the black and white pizza scene, he continues to engage in the conversation, but reads what is on his phone and then stares off into the distance looking pensive.

03:50 Now a black and white version of them sitting together on their laptops appears. He appears exhausted, fidgeting with his hair, eyes, and hat.

03:56 A black and white version the rainy window. The same scene as before, but now it jumps between the rainy, blurry window and black and white shots of him lying in bed alone. He stares at the window stoically, and the camera then jumps to his hand tightly holding onto something.

04:08 We are now in the bathroom, still black and white. He stares at himself in the mirror.

04:14 Back in bed, he now stares at the ceiling.

04:17 In the present time, we jump back to the apartment with the fretting woman. She continues to wind through the apartment, although the scene is so filled with close-ups that we can't tell where she is in the room.

04:23 The man now stands with his back to the camera in the train station where we last saw them both. He is in the middle of the frame, staring outwards at the sky. He takes a breath, almost resolutely. Suddenly, he looks to his left, surprised; the woman slowly comes into frame. She almost walks past him, but he stops her by putting out his arm.

04:43 A short conversation ensues as she stands in front of him. She slowly moves her hand up his arm to feel his face, as if unsure of who is standing in front of her. The camera shows her face looking unsure.

04:57 We jump to him staring at himself in the mirror, but now it's in color.

04:58 She continues to feel his face and says something, perhaps in recognition.

05:00 It cuts to him lying in bed, in color, staring at the ceiling.

05:04 Back in the train station, she pauses.

05:07 A cut to them eating pizza, in color this time. He stares at his phone and starts to look at her.

05:08 In the train station, she steps closer.

05:10 In color, he is staring at his laptop, hand over his mouth, and appears to be crying.

05:11 At the train station, she slowly embraces him and he holds tightly to her after a second's hesitation.

05:18 Back with him and his laptop, his head is turned to look out the window as he slowly puts on his hat, as if sure of himself now.

05:22 At the train station, he is crying into her shoulder. They continue to hold each other tightly as the scene fades to black.

05:32 The title appears in white on the black background: "Because I'm With You".

05:39 It fades out and is replaced with the text, "#Imwithyou".

05:47 It fades out and the video ends.

That was kinda cringeworthy. Why didn't she have a dog or a cane? And the guy was feeding her the pizza slices...I'm pretty sure she could get it herself. I almost thought she was gonna feel his face in the last scene.
