I forgot to answer the second part of your question :-| So the original plan was this:
Introscene with the man walking (taking one step per scene). On the first picture he's seen surrounded by many friends, smiling while walking and he is young. On the top a text reads (this text never got any further than a draft) : "Bjorn was a happy man, living life to the fullest and enjoying every second of it."
As the pictures go on he's getting older and almost all the words fade away until we're left with "Bjorn was a man, living." (or something along those lines).
Last picture before game starts he let's a random cat in the door, ignoring it and then sits down.
Game starts.
When all the strings were collected the player would loose control of the cat, and the cat would jump up into Bjorns lap, falling asleep. At the same time the text would show up again, and the word "happy" would fade into the text again making it read " Bjorn was a happy man, living". Then, right as the screen goes dark as the game closes, the word living fades away as Bjorn closes his eyes.
