Evening at the food truck. The LAST ORDER sign flickers. Nari wipes down the counter after closing service.

Reyn appears at the truck entrance, elegant as ever, silver hair catching the fading light.

Reyn opens the ornate box to reveal a delicate tea set and a sealed tin.

Reyn begins preparing the tea himself, moving with practiced grace.

Nari hesitates, then takes the cup. The warmth is oddly comforting.

The first effects hit. Nari's vision blurs at the edges.

Nari tries to speak but her tongue won't cooperate. Her legs wobble.

Reyn delivers his key line as he holds her swaying form.

Outside the truck. Ha-jun's position. He's surrounded.

The ritual daggers strike. Ha-jun is wounded and suppressed.

Ha-jun struggles against the suppression, blood on his face.

Inside the truck. Reyn lifts Nari, preparing to carry her away.

The procession moves through the ruins. Reyn carries Nari toward the altar.

The altar comes into view. It pulses with violet light.

Close-up on the altar sigils. The binding ritual site in detail.

Reyn places Nari on the altar. The binding begins.

Reyn speaks the binding words. The altar glows intensely.

Nari fights against the drug. Her mind surfaces briefly.

The altar's glow intensifies. The ritual reaches its peak.

Cut to Ha-jun. He tears one dagger free. The oath burns.

Ha-jun forces himself to stand. One dagger down. Two to go.

Back to the altar. Nari's consciousness flickers. She reaches for the backend.

Nari's hand twitches. A single keystroke. The backend responds.

Cliffhanger. The binding nears completion. Nari's fate hangs in the balance.
