A man in a vibrant, painterly room studies a notepad with '3 6 9' written on it, bathed in warm light.
Pro

Setting: His cluttered apartment, late afternoon. Sunlight slants through the window, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. Action: After a morning of feeling completely disconnected—making coffee on autopilot, scrolling mindlessly on his phone—he remembers the triangle. He sketches it on a notepad: 3, 6, 9. He focuses on the 3, repeating it as a mantra, associating it with tangible sensations: the rough texture of the rug under his feet, the weight of his body in the chair, the taste of the coffee. He fights the urge to drift. The Twist/Revelation: For a fleeting second, the mental fog doesn't just clear—it shatters. The world snaps into hyper-sharp focus. The colors are brighter, sounds are crisper. He feels more present than he has in years. It's exhilarating but lasts only a moment before he slips back. The experience proves it's real. He can control it. Goal of the Scene: To establish the first successful, intentional use of his ability and provide a powerful incentive to continue. See more
