A government registry office in Seoul. Fluorescent lights, plastic chairs, a long counter with a tired-looking clerk behind it. Ha-rin stands at the counter in her offstage clothes — grey hoodie, messy bun, dark circles under her eyes. She

Ha-rin at the counter. The clerk, a middle-aged woman with reading glasses, looks bored. Ha-rin slides her papers across the counter.

Ha-rin fills out the form. The camera moves to a close-up of her handwriting.

The clerk stamps the form with an official seal. The stamp comes down with a satisfying thud.

Ha-rin walks out into the Seoul morning. She looks up at the sky. Phone buzzing in her pocket.

Split scene — multiple phone screens showing the post going viral. Comments flooding in.

Sora's office in House Lotus. Screens on the wall show multiple news feeds. Sora stands with her back to the camera, very still.

Sora alone in her office. The screens show the registration document. She finally speaks to no one.

The next morning. A corporate office. A meeting room with a large table. A brand manager looking nervous.

Ha-rin and the brand manager. The manager slides the contract across the table.

A montage of brand logos — makeup companies, fashion houses, entertainment platforms — all announcing defection from the Houses.

Junsu's bedroom. Late night. He sits at his desk, phone in hand, face illuminated by the screen.

Junsu's hand hovering over the 'Post' button. His finger trembles.

Junsu's phone screen. The post has gone viral. Comments flooding in. He reads them.

Junsu sends a message. Ha-rin receives it. She is in a rehearsal room with Min-ji and Dae-jung.

Min-ji and Dae-jung react. Min-ji hugs Ha-rin. Dae-jung wipes his eyes.

A social media feed. A queen from House Glass posting: 'I submitted my transfer request. House Estrela-Seoul, I'm coming.'

A new venue in Gangnam. Ha-rin stands in the entrance, looking up at the high ceilings and empty stage.

Min-ji, Dae-jung, and Junsu arrive at the venue. They find Ha-rin on the stage.

The queens begin arriving. One by one. Prism from House Glass. A queen named Nova from House Salt. An older queen named Madame Vesper's former protégé.

Ha-rin addresses the gathered queens. She holds the star pin in her hand.

Ha-rin pins the star to her chest. She looks at the gathered queens.

The star shining above Seoul. Ha-rin's phone buzzing. The DRAG THRONE invitation.
