THE CAUSE OF EVERYTHING THAT FOLLOWS, and the scene had no frame for it until now. We are over his shoulder so we look where he looks. His body is still collapsing, shoulders dropped, arms loose, stride broken, but his head has come up and turned down the road. At the vanishing point, small and a long way off, the banner. THE DISTANCE IS THE POINT: it is what makes the sprint impossible, and then it happens anyway. It also joins two frames that were sitting unconnected, the empty avenue and the banner, neither of which had anybody in it, and the collapse, which had nothing to look at. HELD 3.9.2026: not placed by the running order Baba dictated for scene one, which keeps the leg inspection only. Kept and not cut. One edit puts it back.
