[Instrumental Break] (dry piano repeats three descending notes followed by an empty beat; low bowed bass and faint glass harmonics underneath) [Interlude] (close solo cello answers with a rounded ascending phrase, turning back before resolution; piano briefly softens) [Build-Up] (one damped metal strike interrupts the piano; quiet even metal taps begin, muted viola enters in clipped strokes) [Build-Up] (piano crowds its descending figure with extra passing notes; the metal pulse stays steady, low strings gather into a compact dissonant crest) [Break] (metal taps and low strings cease abruptly; the three-note piano figure returns alone with unequal gaps) [Interlude] (cello answers close and quiet; piano meets it with a brief unresolved chord, immediate hard cut to silence, no tail) [End]
