**EXT. CITY PARK - DAY**
Valentine materializes in the middle of a park, gasping for breath. He looks around, disoriented. The city looks different - cleaner, more orderly. The sky is a perfect blue.
Mia? Are you there?
(Weak, distorted)
David... I'm here. The temporal surge... it was stronger than expected.
What happened? Where are Thorne and Elara?
I... don't know. The timeline has been... reset.
