The Counter-Reagent - Rescue and Resolution

PROMPT 2 - "THE COUNTER-REAGENT" (15–30 seconds) Continuity note: continue from the exact final frame of Part 1 - same characters, same clothing, same lighting, same camera angle, same tower interior, only seconds later. Do not alter any character design. 15–18s: The transformed Vex descends the last few stairs toward the apprentices, movements jerky and unnatural. She lunges and seizes Milo by the vest collar, hoisting him half off his feet. He kicks and yelps, goggles askew. 18–22s: Senna's eyes dart across the cluttered workbench without breaking her stare on Vex. She spots a small vial of glowing amber counter-reagent tucked among the star charts - the one Vex brewed "just in case," Senna always suspected. She edges toward it, slow, silent, one hand out. 22–26s: Still fixed on Milo, Vex doesn't notice. Senna snatches the vial, thumbs the cork off in one motion, and hurls the amber liquid straight into Vex's face from point-blank range. A blinding amber flash washes over the room, gears screeching to a halt overhead. 26–30s: Vex drops Milo instantly, staggering back, blinking hard, disoriented. She looks around at the wrecked observatory, at her own soot-streaked coat, utterly bewildered. Vex: "...Why is everyone looking at me like that?" Milo and Senna exchange a drained, done-with-this look. Senna: "Because we're framing that vial and never opening it again." Cut to black.
