00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.540
The midday sun sliced through the crisp winter

00:00:02.540 --> 00:00:05.519
air. casting sharp shadows across the concrete

00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:06.700
canyons of the metropolis.

00:00:07.379 --> 00:00:10.220
High above the bustling avenue. the elevated metro

00:00:10.220 --> 00:00:12.480
tracks curved in a gleaming. serpentine

00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:14.060
arc toward the downtown core.

00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:18.140
Forged from thick industrial steel. the polished rails

00:00:18.140 --> 00:00:20.320
caught the harsh light. radiating a

00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:23.199
brilliant. silvery glare against the endless blue of

00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:24.300
the afternoon sky.

00:00:25.179 --> 00:00:27.559
Leo stood near the glass -walled observation deck.

00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:29.719
his gloved hands resting on the cold

00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:31.640
railing as he waited for the noon express.

00:00:32.400 --> 00:00:35.179
Overhead. razor -sharp clouds drifted past the tips

00:00:35.179 --> 00:00:37.079
of the glass and steel skyscrapers.

00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:39.960
their crisp edges mirroring the geometric perfection of

00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:40.679
the city below.

00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:43.679
The atmosphere was charged with the electric hum

00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:44.560
of urban life.

00:00:44.979 --> 00:00:47.179
The distant drone of traffic and the brisk.

00:00:47.420 --> 00:00:50.079
biting wind created an energetic rhythm that

00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:51.859
pulsed through the concrete and iron.

00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:55.119
A low. mounting vibration hummed through the platform

00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:56.000
beneath his boots.

00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:59.140
With a sleek. metallic rush. the metro emerged

00:00:59.140 --> 00:01:01.600
from the curve. its silver body hugging the

00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:04.040
elevated tracks as it glided effortlessly over the

00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:04.400
city.

00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:07.519
Leo stepped aboard as the automated doors slid

00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:09.620
open. leaving the biting winter cold

00:01:09.620 --> 00:01:10.140
behind.

00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:13.819
As the train accelerated. banking smoothly along the

00:01:13.819 --> 00:01:15.500
steel path suspended in the bright

00:01:15.500 --> 00:01:19.079
midday sky. the sprawling. modern skyline swept past

00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:20.659
his window like a living painting.
