Wide establishing shot of Greymoor border town. Crowded market square with refugees, merchants, roughspun tents. Dusty ground, late afternoon light. The food truck approaches from a dirt road.

Erine parks the truck at the edge of the market square. Helena watches from inside the cab.

The food truck opens for business. Refugees and merchants begin lining up.

Erine serves while scanning the crowd. Helena notices something off.

A commotion in the market square - raised voices. Erine's head snaps toward it.

Sasha stands over the baron, blackmail letter in hand. Her golden hair catches the light.

Erine's POV - the blackmail scene. Her hands go cold.

Sasha looks up from the baron and her eyes find the food truck.

Sasha's smile - the player's smile. Not the heroine's warmth.

The two reincarnators lock eyes across the crowded market.

Erine's internal realization - both speedrunning, both losing control.

Sasha begins walking toward the food truck through the crowd.

Sasha arrives at the truck window. The confrontation begins.

Sasha examines the truck exterior with open curiosity.

Sasha delivers the 'cute model' line. Erine doesn't respond.

Erine's silence. The tension stretches.

Helena notices Erine's hands shaking. The weight of what she's seeing.

Sasha examines Helena with interest. The pieces connecting.

Helena's guarded response. The tension between the three women.

Sasha's knowing look. The knife-fight begins metaphorically.

Sasha turns to leave, but delivers one more line. A warning.

Sasha walks away into the crowd. Erine and Helena watch her go.

Erine's hands are still shaking. Helena waits for answers.

End beat - Erine closes the truck window. The game has changed.
