Both threads snap tight and drag the man and the woman across the square toward each other, their heels sliding on the pavement, arms out for balance, both staring up at the threads in shock. The gap between them closes fast until they collide chest to chest and stop. Camera holds at eye level on the square, metro entrance behind them. Warm daylight, golden sparkles, stylized 3D animation. Audio: taut rope creaking, both of them gasping and letting out surprised panicked sounds, shoes dragging on pavement, a soft thud as they collide, buses and traffic in the background. No dialogue, no speech, no words. No subtitles, no text, no captions, no on-screen writing.
