Kazurai quickly draws a plan on a metal table.
— Two exits.
Silence.
He looks up.
— Zadkiel, Shin'en, Mirian… you take the west exit.
He turns to Rikuto.
— You and I take the east.
A heavy silence.
Zadkiel watches everyone.
— Don't scatter unnecessarily. Stay alive. That's all.
Rikuto slightly clenches his fists.
— And if things go wrong?
Zadkiel answers without hesitation:
— Then we improvise.
— But no one dies unnecessarily.
🕶️ SHADOW OF THE ORGANIZATION
In a high room, deep beneath the base…
Soren speaks to the higher-ups.
— The five survivors… will not remain.
Cold silence.
A superior responds:
— They will remain. Even broken.
Soren smiles slightly.
— Then I'll test that myself.
⚔️ SEPARATION
The corridors shake.
Silent alarm.
The groups split.
Two paths.
Two destinies.
🌑 SHIN'EN vs RIKUTO — CONFLICT
Dark corridor.
Guards collapse under an invisible pressure of shadow.
Kuroyami fills the air.
Rikuto blocks a dark attack.
💥 BOOM
The wall trembles.
Rikuto (calm but firm):
— Shin'en! Stop! This isn't how we survive!
Shin'en (red eyes, heavy breath):
— They're in our way. So they fall.
Rikuto clenches his teeth.
— We don't become monsters to survive!
Shin'en steps closer.
— And what if your "humanity" gets you killed?
Silence.
Rikuto:
— Then I'll die human.
A moment.
Wind and shadow freeze.
Shin'en slightly smiles.
— …Then we'll see which one of us survives.
⚙️ KAZURAI & RIKUTO
Kazurai joins Rikuto.
— You think too much.
— Move.
They move forward.
🏭 BASE UNDER ATTACK
Security systems activated
Deadly traps
Rank B units on alert
Alarms everywhere
🌫️ GROUP A (Zadkiel / Shin'en / Mirian)
They move through the tunnels.
Shin'en creates shadows to hide their presence.
Mirian disables traps with precision.
Zadkiel observes everything.
Every movement.
Every guard.
Every mistake.
⚙️ GROUP B (Kazurai / Rikuto)
Generator room.
💥 Battles break out.
Kazurai copies enemy techniques instantly.
Rikuto defends and takes hits.
But—
The general alarm activates.
— They know we're here.
💔 MIRIAN & SOREN
Mirian finds an exit.
She exhales.
— Zadkiel… outside I need to tell you something…
Silence.
Suddenly—
💥
Soren appears.
Zadkiel freezes.
Shin'en as well.
Mirian smiles, relieved:
— Soren!
Zadkiel:
— You know him?
Mirian hesitates.
— Yes…
Soren smiles.
— Bad choice of trust.
Shin'en steps forward.
— Get lost.
But—
💥
Too fast.
Soren pierces Mirian.
Total silence.
The world stops.
— MIRIAN!!
Zadkiel screams.
Shin'en reacts—
But too late.
🕳️ FALL
Mirian falls into a tunnel.
Her body disappears into the darkness.
Absolute silence.
Shin'en lowers his head.
— …We can't do anything anymore.
🚪 ESCAPE
The groups flee.
Explosion behind them.
The base collapses.
Alarms.
Fire.
Chaos.
🌌 OUTSIDE
Silence.
Cold air.
Zadkiel whispers:
— Kazurai…
Shin'en:
— Rikuto…
🌌 OTHER SIDE
Kazurai:
— Zadkiel…
Rikuto:
— Shin'en…
