2-3 second cinematic morph: the halo-constellation of ghost-brains collapses inward, particles absorbed back into the central brain-twin in a brief flash, then the camera tilts up as the meta-iris phone-bezel descends from the top of frame to claim the upper portion. Camera move: slight upward tilt + recompose. Lighting transition: warm absorption flash gives way to the cold blue-white searchlight of the descending iris. AUDIO DIRECTIVE: Crossfade from soft electronic ambient through a brief absorption whoosh into the low ominous descending drone of the next scene. NO spoken words.

Pixel art aesthetic maintained throughout, crisp pixel grid, NO style drift, NO smoothing, NO photo-realism.
