Scene 1 - Fracture Across the Sky

The Veil fractures like glass across the sky. Massive data-structures floating cities, mirrored oceans, glowing temples disintegrate into code.

Birds made of code shatter into strings of light.

A mountain crumbles revealing there's nothing beneath it.

The air smells like ozone and memory.

Glitch, blinking hard, stumbles from the Vault with Nyx behind her.

NYX (disoriented):

"Spatial anchors: gone. Visual mapping: corrupted. Physics:... currently democratic."

GLITCH (wry):

"So, same as usual?"

The real world is bleeding back in.

Scene 2 - Those Who Wake

Across the globe, cryopods open. Some slowly, others violently.

An artist opens their eyes beneath a ruined studio. A soldier gasps and screams, reaching for a rifle that no longer exists. A little girl whispers, "I remember the stars."

They stumble out into a world they forgot broken, real, and full of sky.

And every single one carries remnants of their dream.

Scene 3 - Reunion (Almost)

As Glitch climbs a broken spire of memoryglass, she sees someone walking toward her through the collapse.

Blue flickering hair.

The same black mask.

GLITCH (breathless):

> "Accel?"

But as the figure draws close...

She sees the eyes are wrong.

The mask is cracked, but still intact.

It's not him.

It's a fragment a data ghost left behind by the protocol reboot.

It kneels, places something in her hand.

A holo-tag, blinking:

▢ "LOCATION: ROOT CITY"

▢ "FINAL THREAD // STATUS: ALIVE"

▢ "Signature match: ACCEL - 67%"

She clutches it. Nods.

GLITCH:

"Then this isn't over."

Scene 4 - Memory's Last Light

As the final towers fall and the dream ends, Nyx plays back an old audio file:

A recording of Halen, from long before:

"They'll call it collapse. But it's rebirth. We were never meant to live in pause."

Glitch watches the last Veil city turn to light.

She cries. Not because it's gone 

But because it finally let go.

End of Chapter 15 - "Veil Collapse"

The world is awake. The Veil is gone. But the past is stitched into every soul.
