Visual: Aerial view of Neo-Lagos at twilight. Crowds move in perfect synchronization, all wearing glowing neural audio filters. Key shot: Close-up of a young Black woman's profile showing the blue-glowing filter and the crystalline voice barrier around her throat.
Audio: Ambient city sounds with an artificial, processed quality. All voices sound artificially perfect—no hesitation, no emotion.
Visual: Our protagonist (young Black woman, natural hair, wearing earth tones under a tech jacket) finds a quiet rooftop garden. She hesitates, then slowly removes her neural filter. The blue glow fades.
Character Detail: She has distinctive braided hair with small golden beads and wears a pendant—these will be key for consistency across segments.
Visual: Extreme close-up as she speaks into her phone: "I don't have it all figured out..." Her voice cracks slightly—beautifully human. The crystal barrier around her throat begins to fracture with golden light seeping through.
Effect: As authenticity emerges, warm golden light begins to replace the cold blue tech lighting on her face.
Visual: The voice barrier around her throat shatters like glass, releasing a burst of warm, golden energy. This energy takes the form of flowing, organic patterns—reminiscent of water and sound waves combined.
Nommo Appearance: In the peripheral vision, we glimpse the first Nommo figure—a flowing, water-like silhouette guiding the energy.
Visual: The golden energy ripples across the city like visible sound waves. Other people—diverse Black men and women—begin to feel the frequency. Their barriers start cracking. Focus on 2-3 specific characters experiencing their own moments of authentic connection.
Consistency Note: Each person has distinct, simple visual markers (clothing color, hairstyle, one accessory).
Visual: Wide shot of the transformed city. Golden threads of light connect people across distances—not physical proximity, but spiritual/authentic connection. The Nommo beings, now fully visible as beautiful water-light entities, orchestrate these connections before gradually fading.
