HE TURNS TO US. Pushed in, and the drawing behind him is the SAME picture nearer: the head and shoulders of 1-6-COLLAPSE-v1, head tipped back, face up, mouth open. He is inspecting one image at two distances, which is what makes 1.10 and 1.11 one action rather than two shots. The drawing is pale and much fainter than he is, so the drawn world recedes exactly as the real one takes over. SUPERSEDES 1-6-v1, which carried an unrelated profile head of the old man. Same method as 1-5-v3: composite first, then render from that composite as the single reference. FILED AS 1-13, 3.9.2026, in the reset that gave scene one its final names. Before the reset it was 1-6-v3, and every name mentioned in this note is a pre reset name.
The same frame with the boy, his hand, the brass glass and his shadow taken out. He was standing on the bottom border and covering most of the wall, so the border was rebuilt across the gap and the wall relit evenly. The pale drawing of the runner is unchanged in size, place and weight.
