Scene 1 — The Quiet Before
SFX: drip… drip…
The morning rain lingers. Glass Tower hums faintly, its surface trembling like something alive.
Ada sits at her terminal, typing fast, the glow of several encrypted files reflected in her eyes.
She mutters under her breath, "Glass Tower Network Root — access override, code 04-19A…"
SFX: beep… beep… ACCESS GRANTED.
Lines of old records appear — "PROJECT PROMISE: Subject–ECHO, Core Fragment Containment Protocol."
Her eyes widen.
Ada (thinking): "So the shard wasn't found… it was made."
Behind her reflection, Dante appears silently in the glass.
His reflection smiles first, before he actually does.
Dante (lightly): "You're up early again. Searching for something?"
Ada (tense): "Just data alignment. Don't sneak up on me like that."
SFX: crkkk—
The monitor glitches for a second — half of Dante's reflection lags, frozen in a grin.
Ada turns off the screen.
Ada (thinking): "He's… syncing with the system now?"
Scene 2 — The City Stirring
Cut to the city streets below.
SFX: woooosh— wind carries static and low howls across rooftops.
A man in a trench coat — Renji, the guild leader from before — stands in a phone booth, holding a crystal communicator.
Renji: "Yeah… I'm telling you, something's wrong up there.
The Tower's resonating like a cursed beacon."
A distorted voice replies, "Then seal it. Before it awakens again."
Renji (grimly): "You say that like it's simple. That thing Dante's carrying—it's not asleep. It's listening."
SFX: thunder rolls.
As Renji looks up, faint shards of light twist in the storm clouds above the city, forming a massive reflection—a silhouette resembling Dante's face, fragmented across the skyline.
Renji (muttering): "Oh hell… it's spreadig
Scene 3 — Ada's Discovery
Ada's Lab — 2 hours later
SFX: hummmmmm—beep—clack!
She syncs multiple camera feeds, watching recorded clips of Dante's time in containment.
Every few seconds, an anomaly flashes — a second figure standing behind him in the reflection, whispering.
Ada (zooming in): "The shard isn't a fragment of energy… it's a consciousness anchor."
Files reveal notes: "Subject D-01: compatible host. Fear absorption incomplete."
She scrolls down further and freezes at the next entry: She scrolls down further and freezes at the next entry:
"Project Supervisors: A. Wong / R. ArcLight — Initiators."
Ada's eyes widen.
Ada (in disbelief): "Raen and… me?"
SFX: glass cracking—
The floor lights flicker, and the hum grows louder.
Dante's voice echoes through the intercom, calm and distorted:
Dante (voice): "Ada, you shouldn't be looking at that. It's not part of your promise.
She turns, heart pounding.
Ada: "You're not supposed to be on this channel."
Dante (voice): "I told you… I can hear your fear."
SFX: VVVVVVVVVRMMM—!
The room trembles violently, monitors shattering one by one as the Tower's core reacts.
Scene 4 — Raen's Countermove
SFX: clatter—!
Raen bursts through the door, dual pistols drawn.
Raen: "Ada! The entire tower's on lockdown mode! The energy readings just spiked off the charts!"
Ada shoves a drive into her pocket.
Ada: "The shard's evolving through Dante. It's rewriting the Glass Tower itself."
Raen curses, scanning the flickering walls.
SFX: bzzt-bzzt—static forms faces in the glass panels around them.
Raen: "Great. So now the building's haunted too."
The panels ripple. Dante's reflection appears across every wall, watching them.
Dante (from the reflections): "It's not haunted. It's awake."
Raen points her gun at one of the panels.
Raen: "You're losing yourself, Dante!"
Dante (calmly): "Or maybe I finally found what I was meant to be."
SFX: crash—!
The ceiling lights explode, sending shards raining down.
Scene 5 — The Invasion
EXT. Glass Tower — NIGHT
SFX: howl—BOOM—!
Multiple vortexes open in the sky above the Tower.
Dark figures descend — monstrous, winged entities cloaked in static and glass-like feathers.
Renji looks up from the street, eyes wide.
Renji: "Shit… the Vultures heard the call."
SFX: SKREEEEEE—!!
The creatures dive toward the Tower, clawing at its walls as alarms blare through the city.
Scene 6 — Three-Way Collision
INT. Glass Tower — Central Core
The structure glows red as Dante steps out of the elevator, calm amidst chaos.
His aura pulses — shards of glass float around him like orbiting satellites.
Ada (yelling): "Dante, stop this! The shard's controlling you!"
Dante (softly): "No… it's showing me the truth. Fear isn't something to fight—it's what keeps this world alive."
Raen: "You're spouting nonsense!"
SFX: SHRRAAAK—!
A vulture crashes through the glass dome above, screeching.
Dante turns, raises his hand — the air bends.
The creature's body shatters mid-air, fragments dissolving into light.
Ada (whispering): "He… absorbed it…"
Dante (smiling faintly): "They came for their creator."
The glass floor beneath them begins to crack —
SFX: crrrrkkkkk—BOOM—!
