Adorning his red super suit with a striking red tiger emblem on the chest and a regal red cape draping his entire back, he sits at the head of a round table that accommodates seven seats. The table is littered with an array of crystals, scrolls, and images depicting THE HAMMERED BRACELET and others celestial bodies, capturing the essence of their allure.

Scene 42

Cut to alternating tight shots of the twins as each growls at the other, the tension between the two brothers reaches a boiling point, and they erupt into a fierce physical altercation. Marduk, the only one amused by the spectacle, jumps up and cheers. Despite their best efforts to one-up each other, they finally cease their scuffle, and laugh off their childish behavior. Marduk seizes the opportunity to pounce on them, pretending to be DA.VICTOR as the twins playfully feign death.

Scene 43

LALUZ stands tall and exits with pride. EA remains stoic. Suddenly, his suit announces that the loading process is complete. He turns his head, breaks the fourth wall. Smiles at YOU then a blinding flash of light engulfs the screen - 3 seconds. So intense that I want the viewer to either close their eyes or look away.
