01 / FIRST CONTACT
The signal arrives before the story
A coastal report becomes the first frame: measured, stark, impossible to ignore.
A warning in four movements
When the ground answers
The message begins as a tremor, becomes a silhouette, and leaves the city to reckon with the light.
02 / SCALE OF FEAR
Fear needs a visible scale
Each frame widens the distance between a single witness and the city below.
03 / AFTERIMAGE
The machine leaves a shadow
Charcoal fields, silver edges, and one cold blue flare carry the atomic warning.
04 / NO RESOLUTION
End with the question unresolved
The last line does not reassure; it asks what we build after the smoke clears.
