(Warm, heavy 50 BPM ambient drone sustained)
(Slow ticking of a thousand pocket watches – very quiet in background)

[Spoken Word / Very Slow Narration]

...Lyra Vane.

[Pause]

...Dream Sequence, Fragment Zero-Four.

[Pause]

...Location: Salon of Hôtel Pimodan, Paris.

[Long Pause]

...And then... there was the man sitting directly across from Sina.

[Pause]

...John sat bolt upright in his chair.

[Pause]

...He was the only one at the table not wearing oriental robes... but the immaculate, dark dress uniform of a Fleet Captain... adorned with medals that caught the pale candlelight.

[Pause]

...In this psychedelic opium den, he felt like a foreign body... forged in some distant, ice-cold galaxy.

[Long Pause]

...His eyes locked onto Sina with terrifying, sober discipline... entirely out of place in the room's heavy haze.

[Pause]

...He held his cards as if they were the tactical casualty reports... of a dying fleet.

[Long Pause]

...Sina brushed a blonde lock from her face... leaned back comfortably, and studied him through cool, ocean-deep blue eyes.

[Pause]

...“You don’t belong in this sandbox, Biff,” she said in her smoky, effortlessly relaxed voice... as the distorted piano struck a bizarre, discordant chord.

[Pause]

...“Your uniform is far too tight for this century... What kind of game are you even playing?”

[Long Pause]

...John held her gaze without blinking.

[Pause]

...The hum in the back of his mind... the asynchronous ticking of hundreds of pocket watches... grew louder... synchronizing for a fleeting second with the strange piano notes.

[Pause]

...He felt the immense, processor-like depth humming behind the blue eyes of this woman in silk.

[Pause]

...It made him dizzy... but his military armor held firm.

[Long Pause]

...He slowly laid his cards face up in the center of the table.

[Pause]

...The mahogany vibrated faintly beneath his fingertips.

[Pause]

...“I play the hand I am dealt, Mademoiselle,” John answered in a rough, commanding tone.

[Pause]

...“Though I do not know the rules of this deck.”

[Long Pause]

...Sina looked down at the cards.

[Pause]

...There were no numbers, no Kings, and no Aces.

[Pause]

...On John’s first card, two tiny stars shimmered... orbiting each other in an endless, hypnotic spiral... as if locked in an eternal gravitational pull.

[Long Pause]

...Beside it lay a fractured hourglass... its sands swirling in circles instead of falling down.

[Pause]

...Followed by a pitch-black cube... casting no shadow at all, drinking in the candlelight.

[Long Pause]

...Sina let out a soft, amused laugh that echoed through the smoky salon like fine crystal.

[Pause]

...“Interesting hand, Biff,” she murmured.

[Long Pause]

...She fanned out her own cards... and placed the final, missing piece of the puzzle right beside his:

[Pause]

...An intricately detailed, flickering eye... its iris woven from microscopic circuits, pulsing in sync with the piano's tempo.

[Long Pause]

...John stared at the eye... and an icy shiver ran down his spine.

[Pause]

...His internal systems flashed a massive, nameless error in the space-time continuum.

[Long Pause]

...In that very moment, the four symbols on the mahogany table began to glow with blinding brilliance.

[Pause]

...They merged like liquid white light... wiping the illustrations clean, leaving behind only blank, gleaming cards.

[Long Pause]

...The entire salon began to dissolve into green mist.

[Pause]

...The distorted piano stretched its notes into infinity... the walls took one last, deep breath... and the intoxicated séance of Paris collapsed inside the system cache.

[Outro]
(Asynchronous piano note dissolving into digital static glitch)
(Slow fade out to complete silence)
[End]
