Scene 1 – The Uneasy Lunch
Location: Cruise Ship – Dining Hall (Afternoon)
Warm sunlight filters through the glass windows. The dining hall buzzes with laughter and the clatter of cutlery. Ren, Zeno, Fynn, Lyra, and Emi sit together, eating lunch. But Zeno seems lost in thought.
Zeno (thinking):
"I still haven't seen Miyu…
Could Shura Naki or Max know something?
Maybe I should go check after dinner…"
Ren notices Zeno's distant expression.
Ren:
"What's wrong, Zeno? You look kind of worried."
Fynn (grinning):
"Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. You've been quiet all day!"
Zeno (faint smile):
"It's nothing… just some thoughts."
Lyra (gently):
"Zeno, you shouldn't hide things from your friends.
If something's bothering you, just say it."
Zeno (after a pause):
"It's just… I haven't seen Miyu anywhere."
Ren (serious tone):
"First it was Grake alone… now it's the entire Crimson Reigns.
Who knows what's coming next.
Anyway, Zeno — we'll help you."
Emi (warmly):
"Yeah, Zeno. Don't stress yourself too much."
The group begins to relax again — until the dining hall doors open with a loud creak.
Footsteps echo across the marble floor.
Scene 2 – The Man in the Black Coat
Location: Dining Hall – Entryway
A tall man in his late twenties enters.
His long black trench coat sways as he walks, the red inner lining flashing faintly.
Straps and buckles run across his chest and arms, giving him a battle-ready look.
His eyes are sharp, confident — his lips curved into a sly smirk.
Black gloves, fitted combat trousers, and knee-high leather boots complete his mysterious presence.
All eyes in the hall turn toward him. He walks straight toward Zeno's table.
Sylar (smirking):
"You're that boy, aren't you… the one they caught yesterday?"
Zeno (thinking):
"How does he know that…?"
Ren stands slowly, calm but cautious.
Ren (steady tone):
"And who might you be?"
Sylar (turning toward him):
"I'm Sylar.
And you… you won't tell me your name?"
Ren:
"I'm Ren Shiken."
Sylar (interested):
"Ren Shiken… fascinating."
He shifts his gaze to Zeno.
Sylar:
"And you?"
Zeno (hesitant):
"I'm Zeno Raiven."
Sylar (smiling wider):
"Raiven, huh…
I've heard quite a lot about your family.
A strong lineage indeed."
Fynn, Lyra, and Emi exchange uneasy glances.
Emi (thinking):
"There's something strange about him… who is this guy?"
Sylar (casually):
"Renji… he's your brother, right?"
Zeno (thinking, startled):
"How does he know about Renji…?"
Zeno (carefully):
"Yeah, he is.
But why are you asking?"
Sylar (mocking smile):
"Why? Can't I ask?"
Zeno:
"No, that's not what I meant…"
Sylar steps closer — lifts Zeno's chin gently with a gloved finger.
Sylar (low voice):
"Still unripe…
Even after so many murders."
Fynn, Lyra, and Emi freeze — eyes wide in shock.
Fynn (thinking):
"M–murders…? What is he talking about…?"
Scene 3 – The Shadow Sigil
Location: Dining Hall – Same Time
Sylar smirks and turns toward Emi. She stiffens as he approaches.
Sylar (softly, with a cold smile):
"You really do resemble your mother…
Especially your eyes."
Emi's eyes widen — her breath catches.
Emi (thinking):
"Who is he…?
Could he be from the Silent Shadow Troupe…?"
Sylar gives a faint, knowing smile and begins walking away.
His boots echo as the silence grows heavier.
Fynn (breaking the silence):
"Emi… Zeno… how does he even know you?"
Emi looks back — Sylar's walking toward the exit.
As his coat shifts, a faint glow catches her eye —
on his wrist is a black mark, the symbol 🜃.
Emi (tense, alarmed):
"That mark…
It's the Shadow Sigil.
He's from the Silent Shadow Troupe."
Everyone — Ren, Zeno, Fynn, Lyra — freeze in shock.
The camera slowly pans toward the symbol glowing on Sylar's wrist.
Sound fades.
Only the waves crashing outside are heard faintly.
