THE FRAME IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE GLASS, and the first of the release. We are inside the muscle now: dense diagonal graphite fibres filling the whole frame, and a white star bursting at the centre with long rays driving out along them. THE GLASS IS GONE and it does not come back: it took us in and the sequence takes over. What follows is the light travelling up through him foot to hip, muscle by muscle, as though somebody is throwing switches one at a time. AND IT IS NOT NEW FUEL. Nobody gave him anything. It was there the whole time, closed, and somebody has just decided to open it. FILED AS 1-18, 3.9.2026, in the reset that gave scene one its final names. Before the reset it was 1-8-IGNITION-v2, and every name mentioned in this note is a pre reset name.
