A storyboard sheet of six 16:9 film frames in a 3x2 grid with thin black gutters, no text, no numbers, no labels. Stylized 3D kids' animation, same render style and characters as image 1. Image 1 is the master for both children: faces, hair, suits, purple fins for both, height difference, helmets. Helmet: a clear glass bubble; on each side at ear height, outside the glass, one dark-grey round puck lamp whose white glowing capsule is on its FRONT face; exactly two lamps per helmet, both lit. Each lamp throws a narrow beam straight AHEAD, parallel to the child's line of sight, like the headlights of a car; the two beams of one child run side by side forward in the direction the face points. Glowing neck ring: Kira violet, Yan cyan. Kira (7, small, two brown buns, purple and teal braids inside the bubble, freckles) is always on the LEFT and lower; Yan (13, taller, glasses) is always on the RIGHT and higher. Each child wears one watch, on the LEFT wrist. Image 2 is the water: the abyss at 4000 m, pitch black everywhere including above. The only light is the helmet beams, the neck rings and suit lights; faces are lit softly from below by the neck ring. Marine snow is very fine dust, visible only inside the beams; outside the beams the water is clean black. Both swim level like divers, legs stretched back. Frame 1 (top left): almost total darkness; very far away two tiny pairs of lights, the left pair slightly lower, like distant stars. Frame 2 (top middle): close-up of Yan in three-quarter view, his face turned toward the right edge of the frame, puzzled, glancing around; his two beams shoot forward to the right past his face into the black. Frame 3 (top right): close-up of Kira in three-quarter view, face turned up toward the upper left, delighted, eyes shining; her two beams shoot forward and up to the upper left. Frame 4 (bottom left): medium two-shot, three-quarter view from the front-left at eye level, waist up. Kira on the left lifts her LEFT forearm in front of her chest; the watch on that LEFT wrist projects a small glowing blue vertical bar with a bright dot. Her right hand rests at her side. Yan on the right, taller, leans in, looking down at the watch. Their beams point down at the watch. Frame 5 (bottom middle): from behind and below the two kids, looking up along their four forward beams into endless black; fine dust in the beams; the backs of the pucks are closed dark discs; cyan backpack lights glow. Frame 6 (bottom right): extremely wide: two tiny kids far away in an enormous black void, each about one twentieth of the frame height, Kira on the left and lower, Yan on the right and higher; four thin parallel beams; far away a single small blue flash; they turn toward it.
