Episode 4
Scene 1 | Side Railing – Zeno's Solitude
(Zeno stands by the side railing of the luxury hall. The night sky sparkles with countless stars as a cool breeze flows across the deck.)
Zeno (thinking):
"Luxaven… not again. I can't go back there."
(His expression darkens. Memories of moments with Ren flash before his eyes.)
Zeno (thinking):
"Ren made me a better person. I was nothing but an assassin… yet with him, I forgot who I really was. Now, I only want to stay his friend. I don't ever want to lose him."
(An announcement echoes across the ship.)
Speaker: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Night Sky Show is about to begin! Please gather outside."
(The guests happily pour out of the hall, excited. Ren and Emi are standing near the exit. Just then, Fynn and Lyra rush over.)
Fynn: "Look! I brought the camera. We'll record everything tonight."
Lyra: "But where's Zeno? Doesn't he know the show is about to start?"
Emi: "He's not coming yet… he said he wanted to be alone for a while."
(Ren looks down, saddened.)
Fynn: "Ren, we should go find him. We can't leave him alone, not when he's feeling like this."
Lyra: "Fynn's right. We should all be together right now."
Emi: "Yes… I feel the same."
Ren (determined): "Alright. Let's go."
(The four of them head back inside the ship to search for Zeno.)
Scene 2 | Dark Room – Crimson Reigns' Conspiracy
(A dimly lit room. Members of Crimson Reigns gather, voices low and serious.)
Selene: "Zara will be here any moment. Once she arrives, Kaen Voss's men won't be able to touch us."
Grake: "Selene, don't underestimate Kaen Voss. He always plays smart."
Darius: "Grake is right. Underestimating your enemy is the greatest mistake."
Selene: "Yes… you both have a point."
Morric (laughing): "Hah! But once Zara gets the documents, we'll blow this entire ship sky-high! Imagine the chaos!"
(Grake and Darius glare at him.)
Selene (angrily): "Morric! Don't talk nonsense. We're still on this ship too!"
Morric (grinning): "Relax. There's a helicopter on the top deck—my boss gifted it to me. Our escape is secure."
Darius: "No. We can't do that. Our orders are clear: just deliver the documents."
Morric (mocking): "You coward, Darius. Did you forget who we are? We're Crimson Reigns!"
(Outside, Zeno is listening, heart pounding.)
Zeno (thinking): "Crimson Reigns… here…?!"
(Accidentally, an iron rod slips near him, crashing to the ground. The sound echoes inside the room.)
Selene (alert): "Someone's out there!"
(Zeno turns to run, but suddenly a strong kick slams into his chest, knocking him down. A man around 28 years old steps into the light—cold, intimidating.)
(The door swings open. Selene, Darius, and Morric step outside.)
Selene: "This boy… he was listening to us."
Morric (smirking): "Sylas, my brother! Perfect timing."
Selene: "Thank you, Sylas. If not for you, everything would have been exposed."
Sylas (calmly): "You need to stay sharper, Selene. Now, bring him inside."
(Fireworks suddenly shoot across the night sky—the Night Sky Show begins. Zeno, still on the ground, glares at them.)
Zeno: "Your vile plans will never succeed!"
(Grake steps forward, eyes widening as he recognizes him.)
Grake (thinking): "Zeno… here? That means the others are on this ship too…"
(Selene ties Zeno's hands and feet with rope.)
Selene: "Don't worry, boy. We'll let you go… once our work is done."
(Sylas drags Zeno back inside the dark room. Zeno's eyes lock on Grake.)
Zeno (thinking, shocked): "Grake… he's Crimson Reigns too?!"
Grake (inward smirk): "Even captured, you still glare with defiance. Impressive."
Scene 3 | Ship Interior – Searching for Zeno
(Ren, Fynn, Lyra, and Emi search desperately through the ship's corridors.)
Ren (anxious): "He's nowhere… where did he go?!"
Fynn (glancing outside): "The Night Sky Show has started!" (He quickly records a short clip with his camera.)
Emi (thinking): "Where are you, Zeno…? Please don't be in danger."
(Ren's expression tightens with sadness and tension as the scene fades.)
