Exterior of the royal palace at night. The grand ballroom is lit from within, golden light spilling from tall windows. The food truck is parked at the bottom of the palace steps.

Interior of the truck cab. Erine's avatar form sits in the driver's seat, hands on the wheel. Helena is in the passenger seat.

The truck accelerates up the palace steps. Impact.

Inside the throne room. Chaos erupts.

Erine stands in the truck's serving window.

Erine begins the broadcast.

The script pours out. Specific revelations.

Sasha's mask cracks.

The narrative privileges shatter.

The crowd freezes between two realities.

The truck begins to collapse.

Erine's avatar begins to flicker.

Erine falls.

Helena holds Erine. The avatar is fading.

The truck collapses completely.

Helena pulls Erine to her feet.

Helena speaks.

They walk past the frozen guards.

They pass Sasha.

They walk out into the night.

The kingdom behind them. The road ahead.

Erine's fuel gauge. The clock.

Helena takes Erine's hand.

Closing image. The road ahead.
