Opening scene and first turn toward the city.

A widening view—people, streets, and the pull of distance.

A midpoint pause: details sharpen, stakes surface.

Pressure and drift—what changes when you return.

Image placeholders to set tone. Swap these for illustrations or archival photos when ready.
