Out Of Sync
(Leeknow wakes up in a minimalistic apartment. It’s eerily clean. Monochrome. Robotic)
He stares at the blinking alarm on the wall It reads:
06:07 SYSTEM RESET COMPLETE
Subject 07 ACTIVE
Leeknow
[groggy] Subject…. what?
(He blinks again. His mind is foggy. He remembers dancing. A dorm. Training. But there’s nothing personal—no faces, no feelings. Just static)
Scene 2: A Mirror Without a Reflection
(Whereas—Seungmin wakes in a bright, modern café. Empty. Always sunny. Too sunny...)
(He walks past a mirror—his reflection glitches for a split second, then returns to normal)
Seungmin
[whispers] What is this place…
(He hears a faint voice—Leeknow’s voice—but it’s muffled, like an echo in his head)
Scene 3: Unfamiliar Familiarity
(Back in Leeknow’s simulation, he’s walking through the streets. Everyone’s wearing white. Smiling. Too perfectly)
(He turns a corner—and sees a blurry figure watching him. The figure walks away fast...)
(He chases. The figure turns back. For a split second—Seungmin’s face flashes on screen.)
Leeknow
[freezes] ...Why does that name hurt?
Scene 4: The Member Appears
(Seungmin is visited by a stranger in his simulation. It's Bang Chan—but he’s different. Slick suit. Robotic speech. Too calm...)
Bangchan
You’re adjusting well to your new life, Subject 08
Seungmin
Stop calling me that. My name is Seung—
(He stops. He... doesn’t know his name.)
Bangchan
That information has been restricted. Emotional disruption causes system instability
Seungmin
[coldly] Then I guess I’ll just have to break the system
Scene 5: Interlinking – First Connection Attempt
(The episode shifts to a glitchy cyberspace—a dark void filled with flickers of light and memory)
(Leeknow stands in the center, confused. From the shadows, another figure appears. It’s Seungmin—but distorted)
Seungmin
Do you remember me?
(Leeknow moves closer—his hand outstretched. Their fingers almost touch)
Suddenly—an error flashes...
CONNECTION BLOCKED
Trust Protocol Incomplete
(A pulse of white light throws them apart)
(Everything resets. They wake up again… but this time, their worlds are slightly more real. A painting of cats on the wall. A familiar melody on the radio. A voice in their head)
Don’t forget him
Find him again
(Both of them, in their separate realities, whisper the same words at the exact same time—without knowing)
Leeknow & Seungmin (softly): “I’ll find you. No matter what”
(The screen splits—showing both of them in different rooms, mirrors reflecting their longing. A timer begins counting down behind them)
INITIATING LEVEL 2.1- SYSTEM BREAK
Time Remaining: 6 days
