A lone figure stands at the edge of an endless, crimson sea under a twilight sky. The waves shimmer like liquid glass. Soft wind blows through the character's hair.

Slow-motion shot as they fall into the ocean. The camera follows them underwater. Light beams penetrate the depths, creating a mystical glow. Voiceover: "My heart became a hell… my eyes, a raging river." 🔹 Climactic Transformation (10-20s): As the character sinks, wooden planks from an ancient ship float past them, breaking apart in the current. A massive shadow appears: a whale-like creature with glowing eyes swims by. The creature opens its mouth, swallowing the sea itself. The water drains rapidly, leaving behind a cracked desert floor. Voiceover: "The endless ocean vanished, like a desert dried to dust." 🔹 Final Shot (20-30s): The character stands alone on the dry seabed. The sky above flickers between day and night. The camera zooms out slowly until the figure disappears into the horizon. Voiceover: "What do I know of how it ended… drowned in the formless unknown?"
