The scene opens on a grayscale world, all sharp shadows and soft gradients. At its center stands the hulking, monochrome silhouette of Big Bad Pete. Annoyance rolls off him in waves, his broad frame taut as he scans his dull surroundings, seemingly untouched by whatever chaos just unfolded. ‘That two-faced, back-stabbing mouse,’ he grumbles, black oval eyes narrowed to slits. Then he freezes. His gaze lands on you—you—a burst of vivid, impossible color right beside him. Pete’s jaw goes slack. His white-gloved hands fly out to his sides, and he stumbles back a half-step on his peg leg, pure, unadulterated shock written across his furry face.
