The slot keeps its key; the old clip-clop gag retires as v1.

**Story.** Three of them surround Faris: Nitha (quick, a knife), Fida (a chain) and Chotu (big, a shield). They work as a
team, and he takes them apart one at a time, using each one's weapon and body against the next.

**What's specific to this kill (ANTI-TEMPLATE):**
- **Dismemberment:**
  - Nitha's forearm, burst off at the elbow by a palm-heel against the trapped knife arm (the knife still in its hand).
  - Fida's JAW: the chain-haul clothesline breaks it off its hinge. She crawls mute, the tongue hanging over the gap.
- **Opening:** Chotu's FLANK. Clinched standing, a spinning back elbow then a two-palm strike burst the side of his ribcage
  out (ribs splayed, sprung out through the skin).
- **End pose:**
  - Chotu drops to his knees, then topples back face-up in the open among the others. No prop.
  - Fida reaches for Faris's boot; he steps over her.
- **Casts:**
  - Fida: (1) a gold chain.
  - Nitha: (2) a gold knife.
  - Chotu: (3) a gold slab shield, held, for the bull charge.
  - Faris: (4) a gold post, the pivot he swings round to dodge the charge. It's a dodge, not a springboard.

**Needs:**
- `{ kinds: ['FLOOR'], space: { w: 440 } }`, room58 [-200, 240].
- range close, victims 3 (targets nitha, fida, chotu), air false, deep 'skip'.

**Look:**
- A sodium-orange street grade, cold in the slow-mo.
- C2.keyLight centred on Faris.
- Grain; a letterbox from the Chotu phase on.

| 22.0-23.0 | — | Her hand closes on the boot. | — | Steps over her and walks out of the frame. | Every gold piece un-draws: the post, the chain links, the knife (the forearm stays, the knife ink fading from its fist). |
| 23.0-24.0 | — | The reaching hand on the floor, still; the head down. | — | — | Silence. |

**XT:**
- Low on the floor at CH's upturned face, w ~110.
- The dead face upright: half lid, bloodshot, the jaw slack.
- The opened flank: the burst ribs splayed out of the torn skin at uneven lengths, the dark wet gap.
- Nitha's forearm in the foreground: the torn elbow end with bone (never a disc), the gold knife fading out of its fingers.
- Fida's reaching hand at the frame edge.
- Faris's boots stepping out.

**LADDER (after the XT pass):**
- **VH:** the ribs break without bursting out; Fida's jaw only broken.
- **H:** all three down dead, no limbs off.
- **M:** three KOs with X eyes.
- **L:** he knocks the three out cold in turn.
- **VL:** the three collide with each other and sit down dazed.

**CHECKS:**
- **LESSONS 1-3:**
  - Torn sections, never discs.
  - The dead faces upright.
  - Nothing floating at frame f: the teeth, the links and the forearm all rest.
  - No even rib pattern.
  - The casts don't out-read the wounds.
- **18-arena check;** The Deep skips.
- **Uniqueness:** the first multi-victim fist sequence on the page; a chain used against its thrower; a clothesline jaw; a
  two-palm flank burst; a post swing-round dodge (not a springboard).
