Cinematic opening shot of Scene 1, 'Coals and Birth' (00:00-00:10). Pure 2D hand-drawn graphite pencil and charcoal sketch art style on textured, crumpled off-white paper. Macro close-up angle of a flat paper world. Heavy grey charcoal dust and graphite flakes slowly falling across the frame like dark snow. Lying flat and motionless face-down on the paper surface is a small, crude stick-figure warrior with a rough bucket-shaped helmet. The warrior's sketchy outline is faint, trembling, and fragile, drawn with rough black pencil lines. Faint paper seams, folds, and graphite smudges visible in the background. Melancholic, quiet, dark storybook atmosphere, film grain, completely monochrome black, grey, and white with zero color.
