Lateral dolly across the lab bench. First second the microscope edge passes foreground; then the glowing colony multiplies in a steady ripple; by the final beat the camera settles on a single glucose crystal floating toward the cell cluster.
AUDIO: Sterile lab ambience, soft liquid bubbling, muted scanner chirps. NO spoken words in any language, NO intelligible speech.

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