Rico's Architecture Reversed
A flashback: Katita, before Leif, walking through the rubble of Rico the Architect's miniature city—a functioning metropolis built inside a man's body, collapsed the moment he died. She searches through carnage for something: a blueprint, a secret. She finds only diagrams of her own body drawn in red ink, mapped with surgical precision. Katita (voice-over): “If I can build him right. If I can engineer the devotion. If I can make him *want* to fly.” She stands in the rain, red hair soaked, red ink running like blood. A hand cannon materialises in her grip. Understanding surfaces: Leif is not a lover to save but a structure to complete—another city inside another body. The cycle is not a trap but an architecture. Every version of her work crumbles at perfection. The camera pulls back to show multiple Katitas, each finding a different flaw.
