### **Chapter 2: The Heart of Shadows**
#### **Scene 1: Awakening**
*Description:*
The camera tilts upward from Leon's perspective—flickering ceiling lights, distant mechanical beeping. His vision blurs as he slowly opens his eyes. The cold, sterile smell of antiseptic fills the air.
He finds himself in a hospital room. Two police officers stand by the door, their eyes fixated on him. The steady hum of medical equipment surrounds him.
**Dialogue & Internal Monologue:**
- **Doctor (checking his clipboard):** "You were found unconscious in the metro. Your heart rate fluctuated at an unnatural frequency. Are you feeling alright?"
- **Leon (voice trembling, looking around):** "Where... where am I?"
- **Doctor:** "London Central Hospital. Honestly, I'm surprised. It's as if you experienced some kind of electrical shock."
- **Leon (internal monologue, looking at his hands):** *"I can't remember anything… but in the metro… something happened."*
- **Leon (suddenly, panic setting in):** *"That black shadow… it spoke to me!?"*
Leon's hands tremble as faint, shimmering particles of light flicker between his fingers. Fear grips him, and he quickly clenches his fists, suppressing the glow.

### **Scene 2: The Ruins of the Metro – Umbra's Presence**
*Description:*
The scene shifts to the remains of the metro. A police investigation is underway. Half of the tunnel has collapsed, twisted metal and scorched ground evidence of something unnatural.
**Dialogue:**
- **Officer 1 (pointing at the strange burn marks):** "This wasn't a normal explosion. I've never seen an energy pattern like this before."
- **Officer 2 (adjusting a scanner):** "There's some kind of residual electromagnetic field. We need to analyze this further."
*A faint sound—a whisper—echoes from the depths of the tunnel.*
*Visual:*
A dark figure emerges from the shifting shadows—**Umbra**. His form is fluid, his presence unnerving, like a living void. His movements are slow but predatory, his features obscured by darkness.
**Umbra (low, to himself):**
*"So… the power has awakened at last. The time has come."*
He extends his hand. The surrounding shadows swirl and crawl up the tunnel walls. He notices an old, rusted gate with an inscription:
*"Only those with a pure heart may pass."*
**Umbra (chuckling darkly):**
*"A pure heart? Hah… we are far from that."*
With a smirk, Umbra vanishes into the abyss.

### **Scene 3: Leon's Dream**
*Description:*
Leon breathes heavily in his sleep. The camera zooms into his face, transitioning into his **nightmare**.
A battlefield, shrouded in mist. Soldiers locked in combat. Blood. Screams.
But something is wrong—this is no ordinary war. One side wields **light**, the other **darkness**.
**Leon (internal monologue, horrified):**
*"This… when did this happen?!"*
From the mist, a **silhouette** appears. His face is obscured, but his voice is deep and commanding:
**Mysterious Voice:**
*"You are of the chosen bloodline. You must decide—light or darkness."*
Leon turns to respond, but the mist consumes him. He wakes up, gasping for air.

### **Chapter End – The Hook**
Leon wipes the sweat from his forehead.
- **Leon (internal monologue):** *"I've never heard of this war before… but my heart… it remembers."*
Meanwhile, Umbra prepares for his next move, his power growing.
Leon must uncover the truth about himself—before it's too late.
