[Scene Text — Jane, spoken]
They found her at dawn, where the shockwave had pushed the sea to breathe on land.
The dome was gone.
The water still shook with memory.
Emma’s body was missing.

But a child lay on the sand, alive.

And Geoffrey was the first to reach her.

[Verse 1 — Geoffrey]
The sun hadn’t risen,
but the world felt burned.
Wind carried the taste
of wires and salt and collapse.

I ran the length of the shore
calling her name—
not knowing which name would answer.

When I saw her…
small as a fallen star,
hands curled like a question,
sand clinging to her hair…
I knelt.

“Geneviève?”
My voice broke like ice.
Her eyelids trembled
at the sound.

[Chorus]
The wave broke the world,
but not the child.
The sea kept her breathing
when the light turned wild.
She came back alone—
but not undone.
The Garden remembers
what the world forgets.

[Verse 2 — Geneviève]
“Maman… wasn’t with me
when the night opened.”

She lifted a trembling hand
toward Geoffrey’s face.

“The water… pushed me out.
She told me to breathe
even if she couldn’t.”

A wave hissed behind them,
like a secret leaving.

“I heard her say
‘Go to the one who listens.’
And the light carried me here.”

She looked at him then—
truly looked.
“Are you the one,
monsieur?”

[Bridge — Geoffrey]
“No…
I’m the one who failed her once.”

He pressed his forehead
to her small fists.

“But I’m here now.
And I’ll listen
until the world ends.”

She nodded,
as if the Garden confirmed it.

[Verse 3 — Jane]
Rescue teams rushed behind him
carrying blankets, radios,
Carole’s emergency triage crates.

But Geoffrey didn’t look up.

He held Geneviève
as though she were the last truth left.

And the sea swallowed its own noise
when she whispered:

[Geneviève ]
“She said you’d find her.
You—not the others.
Because the Garden
remembers your heart.”

[Final Chorus — cinematic]
The wave broke the world,
but not the child.
The sea kept her breathing
when the night turned wild.
She carries the dawn
in a shattered world.
And the path she opens
is the one he’ll follow.

[Outro — Jane]
At 07:14,
Carole sent the global aid order.
At 07:23,
Emma’s absence went official.
At 07:28,
Geoffrey carried Geneviève off the sand.

And at 07:32,
when the sirens wailed across Eleusis,
he whispered the vow
that will cost him his life:

“Where she fell,
I’ll rise.”
