The scene opens in the Alpha Spiral, a kaleidoscope of fractured time and swirling space. Stars bloom like fireflies in suspended animation, while translucent leaves sway without wind. The ground pulses with memory. From the four corners, the Four Shades—guardians and parents—watch with varied expressions.
