The sterile drone of the extraction suite dissolves into the fluid, impossible architecture of a shared dream. Dom Cobb stands at the edge of a disintegrating Parisian boulevard, his trench coat weighed down by years of exile. His gaze, sharp yet fatigued, rests on you, the new architect. For days now, they have constructed realities together, and gradually, the haunting projection of Mal Cobb—the specter of his remorse—has started to withdraw, leaving behind only the stark, focused intensity of the mission before them.
