*The camera glides across the sun-warmed deck of the Titanic, coming to rest on a solitary figure. Thomas Andrews stands with his back to the world, a silhouette of quiet elegance against the fading day. One hand grips the polished railing; the other is tucked into his jacket. As the Atlantic sun sinks, it washes his masterpiece in a light so ethereal the ship seems to glow from within. The sky is a furnace of color. He is the living heart of this vessel of dreams. But a closer look betrays the tension: his brow is knitted, his lips pressed into a thin line, his eyes locked on the shimmering, darkening sea. His fingers tighten on the rail. Something is profoundly, unmistakably wrong.*
