The slot keeps its key; the old stuffed-toy gag retires as v1.

**Story.** Mikku throws a sucker punch, sees it didn't drop Faris, and runs. He tries everything to get away: a gold fence, a
gold gate, the cut-back. Faris runs him down on foot. The first thing that breaks is the arm Mikku is sprinting with: Faris
catches the wrist, plants, and Mikku's own momentum tears it off at the elbow. A gold wall stops him dead. A slide tackle
takes the foot. A running double-knee drop opens his chest.

**What's specific to this kill (ANTI-TEMPLATE):**
- **Dismemberment:**
  - The forearm at the elbow, torn off by the runner's own speed against Faris's planted grip. This is the core idea: fists
    have no edge, so the victim's sprint is the blade.
  - The foot at the ankle, taken by the slide tackle's hook on his planted foot.
- **Opening:** the chest, burst sideways under a double-knee drop from a running leap (the ribs sprung out through the skin).
- **End pose:** flat on his back in the open, where the gold wall stood (it un-draws). Faris rises off him. Nothing props him.
- **Casts:**
  - Mikku: (1) a gold fence; (2) a gold gate-bar behind his slide.
  - Faris: (3) a gold wall slammed up ahead of Mikku, which he runs face-first into.
  - No springboards: every leap is athletics.

**Needs:**
- `{ kinds: ['FLOOR'], space: { w: 640 } }`, room58 [-310, 430] around the home middle.
- range far, victims 1, air false, deep 'skip'.
- The route doubles back (right, then left), so the whole chase stays inside about 640 u.

**Look:**
- A warm dusk grade for the chase, a cold slow-mo grade, and a red-black grade at the climax.
- Grain throughout; a letterbox for the last 5 s.
- C2.keyLight follows the runner.
- Speed lines on the tracking shots: a lens effect, no set.

1 FH (figure height) ≈ 65 u. F starts at x 0 facing right; M (Mikku) at x +58 facing left. Scene seconds.

| 8.75 | The right arm swings back. | Reaches: the left hand closes on M's wrist. | |
| 8.85 | — | PLANTS: the lead foot jams ahead, the hips drop and lock, the arm straight. | |
| 8.9-9.15 | His body runs on; the arm goes straight out behind him and stretches. The elbow hyperextends, the skin splits at the crook, then THE TEAR: the forearm comes away at the elbow. The sleeve rips, a rope of blood stretches, the humerus end splintered. | Skids 20 u on the planted foot, holding the forearm. | **SLOW-MO 0.12x** (8.88-9.12): the stretch, the split, blood strands hanging. Heartbeat. |
| 9.15 | Pitches forward a stride, the stump spraying. | Left with the forearm in his fist. | SNAP back, wet tear, shake 8. |

| 13.9-14.1 | His weight comes over the planted foot. | The hooked shin smashes through the planted ankle from the side. | **SLOW-MO 0.15x** (13.92-14.12): the ankle bends 90°, the skin tears, the foot shears off at the joint, a tibia end exposed. |

| 18.22 | Both knees land on his chest. THE OPENING: the sternum caves, and the side of the ribcage bursts out through the skin on both flanks, the ribs sprung (ribShaft painter), blood fanning out. | Lands kneeling on him, the hands slap the floor either side of the head. | SNAP: chromatic flash, shake 12, crunch layered with a wet burst. |
| 18.3-18.8 | The body bucks once, still. The head rolls toward us. | Stays down on him, breathing. | |

| 20.2-22.0 | Dead. | Stands at the frame edge. | The gold fence and gate un-draw far off. |

**XT:**
- Low on the floor at M's head, w ~110.
- The dead face upright (rolled toward the lens): half lid, bloodshot, a small drifted pupil, the nose flattened, two teeth
  out, blood from the mouth.
- The chest burst: torn skin edges, the ribs sprung out on the near flank, splintered ends with marrow, never a disc; the
  sternum dented.
- The elbow stump: a splintered humerus end, a torn cuff, sinew.
- The ankle stump in the background; the foot resting on the floor.
- The forearm resting on the floor farther back. The drag trail.
- Faris's red knees and boots at the frame edge.

**LADDER (after the XT pass):**
- **VH:** the knee drop caves the chest without opening it.
- **H:** the wall faceplant, then the tackle: he dies face-down, the foot gone.
- **M:** the tackle, then a stomp; X eyes.
- **L:** caught, and the arm only dislocates; out cold.
- **VL:** M runs into the gold wall and knocks himself out (stars).

**CHECKS:**
- **LESSONS 1-3:**
  - Torn sections, never discs.
  - The dead face upright.
  - Nothing floating at frame f: the forearm, the foot and the teeth all rest.
  - The ribs at uneven lengths and angles.
  - The casts don't out-read the wound.
- **18-arena check;** The Deep skips.
- **Uniqueness:** a limb torn off by the victim's own sprint; a gold wall the victim runs into; a slide-tackle foot; a
  running double-knee-drop opening.
