Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Shadows of Echo - Fragments of the Past, Search for Truth ---

[Opening Scene: Blue Light Technologies Inc.]

(The camera pans over the towering structure of Blue Light Technologies Inc., the sun glinting off its glass facade. The scene transitions to a spacious office on the top floor, where CEO Kizaki Ozaku gazes out over the sprawling city of Nexara.)

PA: (Nervously) "Sir, Echo sales have surged by 130 percent compared to last year. More investors are pouring in."

(Kizaki turns slowly, his fingers tapping against the glass. A sinister smile spreads across his face.)

Kizaki Ozaku: (Chuckling darkly)

"Excellent. Let them come. Greed makes people predictable… controllable. They believe Echo is their salvation, but they're simply fueling my design.

They cling to their precious memories, unaware that I hold the strings. With every Echo we sell, we rewrite the world in our image.

After all, memories are nothing more than stories we choose to believe… and I am the author of this tale."

(He turns back to the city, his shadow stretching ominously across the floor.)

[Scene Transition: Yuko's Morning]

(A sudden alarm jolts Yuko awake. The phone screen flashes 6:30 AM. She groggily stumbles out of bed, stretching before brewing a simple breakfast. As she checks her phone, a notification catches her eye—a message from an unknown number.)

Message:

"If you seek the truth about your sister, come to this place."

(A chill runs down her spine. Who sent this? And why now?)

(Cut to: Yuko later that evening, sitting in a dimly lit bar, nursing a drink. She stares at the message, debating whether to go. The air hums with quiet tension, the whispers of fate guiding her decision.)

[Scene: The Abandoned Factory Shelter]

(Yuko steps into the abandoned factory. The air is thick with dust, the walls covered in faded graffiti. A lone figure in a hood stands beneath a flickering light.)

Kazuka Yamino: (Voice calm, knowing)

"You must be Yuko. I've been expecting you."

(Yuko stiffens, her eyes narrowing.)

Yuko: "Who are you? And how do you know about me and my sister?"

Kazuka Yamino: (Stepping forward, his voice steady)

"I know what Blue Light Technologies has done. You're not alone in this, Yuko—many have lost their loved ones to Echo."

(He gestures toward the shadows. A small group emerges, their eyes filled with determination and sorrow.)

Kazuka Yamino:

"This is my team—the Veil Breakers. We are the Memory Guardians."

(A man with sharp eyes, Yamada Yakito, steps forward.)

Yamada Yakito:

"We seek the truth about Echo—to expose its secrets and free those trapped inside."

(Yuko's breath catches.)

Yuko: (Disbelieving, yet hopeful)

"You mean… there's a way to bring them back?"

(Kazuka studies her, sensing the weight of her pain.)

Kazuka Yamino:

"There is. But first… tell me, Yuko—why do you want to save them?"

(Silence. Yuko clenches her fists before whispering her answer.)

Yuko: (Soft, determined)

"My sister. She's been lost in Echo for too long."

(Kazuka nods, his expression softening.)

Kazuka Yamino:

"That's why we fight. We all have someone we couldn't save. But we refuse to give up."

[Flashback: Kazuka's Story]

(The screen flickers to the past—Kazuka as a young scientist, stepping into the high-tech labs of Blue Light Technologies Inc..)

Kazuka Yamino (Voiceover):

"Two years ago, I infiltrated Blue Light Technologies as a junior scientist. I had one goal—to understand Echo. To find a way to bring back my brother.

(Cut to: A clandestine meeting in the lab.)

Takashi Kurudo (Senior Scientist): (Lowering his voice)

"There is a way to escape from Echo… but it's risky."

(Suddenly—a loud crash. Kazuka freezes as his cover is almost blown. He watches top officials discuss the horrifying truth behind Echo. His hands tremble, knowing he must act.)

Kazuka Yamino (Voiceover):

"I worked from the inside, gathering data bit by bit. One night, I had my golden opportunity—access to the main server.

(Cut to: Kazuka hurriedly downloading files, a progress bar ticking to 90%. Just then—an alarm blares. A guard storms in.)

Kazuka Yamino:

"I escaped… but I couldn't take everything with me. There are still missing pieces."

*(Cut back to the present. Yuko's heart pounds.)

Yuko: (Breathless)

"If there's even a chance… I want in. I'll help you."

(Kazuka smiles faintly.)

Kazuka Yamino:

"Then welcome to the fight."

[Final Scene: Blue Light Technologies - Main Server Room]

(Cut back to the high-security mainframe of Blue Light Technologies Inc. A screen flickers—lines of coded text scroll, numbers counting down. A

cryptic phrase appears on-screen:)

"The cycle continues. Memory is rewritten."

(The camera zooms out… the storm is coming.)

Chapter 2 Ends.
