⚔️ EPISODE 51 – Absent Hearts

Alternative title: "Echoes in the Nerves"

---

🎬 SCENE 1: Silence in the arena

> Two warriors, one breath. Thousands of spectators hold theirs.

The arena is silent. The Reversed stands with his chest bent forward, his shoulders twisted, his double spine still visible.

Myon-Sekh slowly wipes the blood from his brow. He smiles.

💬 Myon-Sekh:

"I thought I had forgotten everything... but your style reminds me of the cellars of Unit 6... Where are you from, brother?"

💬 The Reversed One (without looking at him):

"I come from your mistake."

---

🎬 SCENE 2: Resumption — Attack/counterattack without interruption

🔥 Start of the second phase:

Myon-Sekh leaps forward, sliding across the floor (→ Reverse Neck Strike)

— his fist pivots and strikes the Reversed One's liver.

But the Reversed One disappears in the blink of an eye and reappears behind him (→ Back Spectral Step), digging his fingers into the back of his neck.

💥 Immediate real combo:

Rotating knee strike to the left ribs.

Shoulder strike to the solar plexus.

Strike to the trachea.

But Myon-Sekh grabs the arm in mid-flight, activates his physical technique: "Lateral Muscle Sequencing", and turns the force against his opponent.

⚔️ Both fall in a roll, bounce back... and return to their guard in the same second.

---

🎬 SCENE 3: Activation of Gravity Colours

The Reversed extends his arms: three luminous circles appear behind him.

🔮 Gravity colour: Violet-Foam → slows Myon-Sekh's perception by 0.2 seconds.

💥 Attack launched: "The Oblique of Oblivion" — a sharp spinning movement from the kidneys.

But Myon-Sekh, in a raw instinct, activates a forbidden muscle counter-technique:

🩸 "Fractal Collarbone No. 7" — he moves his own shoulder bone to ricochet.

Impact: The Reversed One recoils, the first drop of blood on his face. He bleeds inside his skin.

💬 Spectator in the audience:

"This isn't a fight... it's a war of nerves."

---

🎬 SCENE 4: Controlled pause, breathing, tension

They stop.

Myon-Sekh lowers his guard, breathing heavily. His ribs vibrate.

💬 Myon-Sekh:

"We're not fighting for the tournament. We're fighting for... those we failed to protect, right?"

The Reversed One approaches slowly.

💬 The Reversed One:

"Exactly. I am what remains... when justice falls."

Then he screams, and the entire arena shakes.

---

🎬 SCENE 5: Total shock — supreme double attack

🔥 The Reversed uses his supreme forbidden technique:

🛑 "Echo of Native Nothingness": he throws Myon-Sekh's mental wounds (memory loss, erased memories) back into the arena.

Myon-Sekh staggers. He sees his brother again, lost in an experimental prison in Oxarien.

💬 Myon (in tears):

"Are you... my brother?"

The Reversed One does not answer. He is crying too.

But they both leap into a final brutal sequence:

💥 End-of-episode combo:

Synchronised blows: elbow – knee – skull – solar plexus – shin – shoulder.

Myon-Sekh bites his own tongue to stay conscious.

The Reversed spits out an invisible flame — Breath of the Unborn.

🎨 Opposing colours of gravity blend together: Spectral silver vs. Nervous red.

Split-screen ending:

→ The two collapse to their knees, face to face, mouths full of blood, still on guard.
