Chapter 1
(Scene opens with the camera moving toward the city).
The city is divided into two parts: the Upper City in the middle and above, and the Lower City below.
In the Lower City lived a boy named Samaya. He lived in MIRA Town, which was part of the city called ASHA—his hometown. Samaya's family lived in the Lower City, where life was extremely difficult. They could not afford much; their daily meals consisted only of simple vegetables or bread.
(Scene shifts toward the Lower City)
Condition of the Lower City:
Life in the Lower City was harsh. People did not have a good standard of living, nor did they have enough money or food. However, some people in the Lower City possessed a mysterious mana—a power that could be controlled with the mind. Samaya's family also had this mana.
There was one strict condition: they could never reveal their mana to the Upper City officers. A newly passed law stated that if anyone was seen using mana in front of the Upper City, they would be executed, and their power would be offered to the so-called greatest "GOD".
(Scene shifts toward the Upper City)
Condition of the Upper City:
The people of the Upper City lived clean, comfortable, and well-organized lives. They followed every rule set by the Government without question. However, the Government itself followed only one being was "NOX"
(Scene shifts toward NOX)
NOX looked on… and slowly smiled
(Horses approach the Lower City. The gates open as officers enter. People gather around them.)
Officer 1 (addressing the crowd):
"We have orders to make an announcement to the people of the Lower City. Anyone who possesses mana must come to the Upper City. You will be honored before the people and receive the power of God."
(The officers exchange subtle looks — it is a lie.)
(The people begin to murmur among themselves.)
People from the crowd:
"How can we believe you? If what you say is true, we will come one by one, each day."
(As expected, doubt spreads. Samaya listens carefully.)
Samaya (thinking to himself):
"What if this is true? If I tell my family… they might finally be happy."
Scene: The Empty Home
Wide shot:Samaya runs through the narrow streets of the Lower City. People stand silently on both sides of the road. No one speaks. No one stops him.
(Samaya shout to his parents "Ma! Baba!" but no one could answer his face is filled with fear.)
Samaya reaches Hill Home. The house stands silent, darker than the surrounding homes.The front door is slightly open, creaking softly as the wind pushes it back and forth.
Dust lifts from the ground with each movement.
Samaya stops in front of the door. His chest rises and falls quickly.For a moment, he doesn't move.
His hand trembles as it reaches for the door.
His fingers touch the wood—cold.
the door slowly opens under the pressure of his hand.The creaking sound echoes louder than it should

Empty space.No movement.

Hope flickers.Then fades.
Medium shot:
Samaya hears footsteps behind him and turns around quickly.
Over-the-shoulder shot:
An old woman, the neighborhood granny, stands at the doorway. Her eyes are downcast, her voice a gentle tremble.
She hesitates, then speaks.
Granny: "Samaya… the officers came. They took your family. I'm so sorry, beta."
Close-up on Samaya's face:
Shock turns to confusion.
Samaya: "They took them? Where? Why?"
His voice cracks, a mix of fear and disbelief.
Cut to medium shot (granny)
The granny shakes her head slowly.
Granny: "They said your family must go to the Upper City. That's all I know."
Close-up on Samaya's eyes:
A flicker of realization passes through him.
Inner thought
(Samaya): "The Upper City… of course. That's where they've gone."
He clenches his fists, the fear hardening into determination.
Samaya smiled faintly, wiping his tears.
If his family was in the Upper City, then that was where he would go.
Without looking back, he ran.
