Panel prompts:
  1. #1A breathtaking, full-width splash panel establishing the sheer scale of the vertical metropolis known as The Citadel. The upper tier—Level 300—is a pristine paradise of towering glass spires glowing with clean, radiant gold and neon sapphire light. Directly beneath it, acting as its literal foundation, is the Lower Division: a chaotic, suffocating labyrinth of rusting iron platforms, leaking pipes, crowded night markets, and a thick, toxic blanket of green-gray smog that completely cuts off the sky.] ​CAPTION: The Citadel doesn't care about your potential. It doesn't care about your talent. ​CAPTION: It only cares about one thing: altitude.
  2. #2Kai Ren, an isolated and unnoticed teenager, lives in a city plagued by whispers of "ignitions"—phenomena where shadows manifest into living entities. Walking home under a flickering streetlamp, Kai notices his own shadow moving independently. The shadow peels from the concrete, speaks to him in a mocking voice, and triggers an explosive "ignition" of harmless black flames that shatter the nearby streetlights. Kai is left shaken, realizing his shadow is now alive, pulsing with dark energy.
  3. #3The morning after the ignition, Kai tries to pretend everything is normal, but his shadow refuses to cooperate, fluctuating in size and mimicking actions a second too late. At school, his heightened anxiety attracts the attention of a perceptive classmate, Mira, who notices the strange distortion around his feet. The internal voice grows louder, feeding on Kai's fear and isolation, warning him that the burst of energy last night has already drawn unwanted attention to his location.
