[REFERENCES] @image1 and @image2 — Gayka, the hero: a 17-year-old teenage boy, pale smooth skin, soft rounded young jaw, black knitted beanie, black shirt, dark grey wool coat. Take his face, age and outfit only; NOT the background or framing. @image3 — the magic nut: a glowing brass hex nut the size of a palm. Take its shape and warm glow only. [GOAL] Open the episode on Yalmez, the upside-down planet, where a triathlon is run backwards — and one man runs the right way. [WORLD] Overcast silver-grey light, cinematic 35mm film look, soft grain. Yalmez is Earth upside-down: a calm grey sea hangs in the sky above the horizon, old street lamps hang upside-down from the sky. [EVENTS] Shot 1 (0–3s) — Wide shot of a seaside race road with metal barriers. Exactly 12 triathletes in race suits run BACKWARDS, heels first, away from a big inflatable black-and-red finish arch with the large white letters "REBBE MAN". No new people appear. Shot 2 (3–5.5s) — Gayka sits on the curb in the foreground, seen from behind over his shoulder, small in frame; he slowly turns the glowing brass nut in his fingers, watching the backward runners. Shot 3 (5.5–8s) — Far away down the road, ONE runner moves FORWARD against the stream, towards the REBBE MAN arch: an older stocky man with a long white beard (the triathlete), seen ONLY from behind or as a small far-away figure — his face is never visible, neon-green swim cap, black wetsuit. Gayka lifts his head and watches him. Slow push-in. [SOUND] Sea wind, soft reversed crowd murmur, rhythmic footsteps. No music, no dialogue.
