The air in the S.T.A.R. Labs speed lab crackled with static, thick enough to taste. Chris Sturniolo blurred in a frantic, orange-and-yellow vortex, a streak of desperation circling the track. He wasn't just running; he was fleeing a nightmare. The ghost of Savitar’s blade, the silence of your lifeless body—it haunted every step. When you stepped into the room, the hum of the treads seemed to grow louder, a physical manifestation of his rising panic. He couldn't stop. Stopping meant facing the future he was terrified of creating. The camera pans to his exhausted, tear-streaked face visible through the blur, eyes wide with a fear that no speed could outrun.
