The scene opens mid-step.

JALEN’s boot crosses the threshold.

Nothing happens.

No light.
No sound.
No resistance.

KORA follows immediately. Then ANA. AKAANA last.

The camera does not cross the threshold — it remains behind them, watching as they move into the space.

Inside, the chamber is vast — but not cavernous. Structured. Ordered.

The walls are smooth, but not stone. Not metal.

Memory-worn.

The air feels warmer here.

The transformed humans stop just inside the entrance, instinctively hesitant.

A low synth bass fades in — slow, steady, not ominous.

ANA turns her head slightly, scanning — then stops.

Her voice is quiet.
