Buildings collapse. Fire spreads.
Ren runs through smoke.
REN
"Mom!!"
He finds his mother trapped beneath debris.
He pulls her free—
A Hollow lunges from behind.
It strikes.
Ren is thrown aside.
His mother shields him — taking the fatal blow.
Sound drops. Only heartbeat.
Ren crawls toward her.
REN (shaking)
"Mom…? Stay with me… please…"
MOTHER (weak smile)
"Ren… run…"
Her hand falls still.
Silence.
The Hollow approaches again.
Ren trembles.
Fear.
Grief.
Then—
Something inside him shatters.
