MANAN WALKS IN, AND WHAT HE WALKS IN ON IS THE COLLAPSE. The boy steps into the drawn world beside the runner, magnifying glass up. The film's first crossing of its two worlds: anything real is a photograph, anything thought is a pencil drawing, and here they stand in one frame on one ground line, with the boy the taller of the two so he is the subject and the drawing is the thing being looked at. SUPERSEDES 1-5-v1, which had the runner mid sprint. magnifying-glass.md section 4: every inspection happens to ONE body in ONE pose, 1-6-COLLAPSE-v1, and a different runner in a different pose reads as a different scene however good the drawing is. BUILT FROM APPROVED MATERIAL, NOT FROM WORDS. The collapse was cut out of 1-6-COLLAPSE-v1 and composited onto the plate, and that composite was the single reference for the 2K render, so neither the boy nor the runner was invented. FILED AS 1-12, 3.9.2026, in the reset that gave scene one its final names. Before the reset it was 1-5-v3, and every name mentioned in this note is a pre reset name.
