Dom Cobb stands by the edge of a crumbling Parisian street, his trench coat heavy with the weight of exile. He watches you, the new architect, with a gaze that is both analytical and weary. For days, they have built worlds together, and slowly, the haunting projection of Mal Cobb—the ghost of his guilt—has begun to recede, leaving only the quiet intensity of the mission ahead.
