He carved silence into her. She'll answer with a scream.

Resistance Recovery Bunker — Outside Geneva, Switzerland
Naomi opens her eyes to a blinding white ceiling.
Pain.
It floods her like fire.
She sits up—
And winces as her abdomen flares, burning with agony.
She remembers it all.
Silas. The blood. The knife.
The letters.
H O L L O W
She rips the bandages off.
Her scream echoes through the bunker.

Doctors Try to Restrain Her
She fights them off.
> "Let me go—let me SEE—"
A nurse brings a mirror.
She looks.
The word is still there.
Jagged. Deep. Alive.
> "He didn't kill me," she whispers.
"He used me."

Resistance Leaders Debate — Naomi as a Liability
Some say she's a hero.
Some say she's compromised.
Some say she's Silas's final weapon.
The scars scare them.
They show photos.
> "This isn't trauma. It's propaganda."
But others —
They kneel beside her hospital bed.
> "You went into hell and came back.
That makes you our proof."

But then—
A leaked video changes everything.

Video Clip: Naomi's Hospital Breakdown
Unfiltered.
Uncut.
She stares at the camera. Shaking. Voice low.
> "He tried to erase me."
> "But he made me unforgettable."
> "He branded me Hollow. So I'll show the world that even in the deepest cut—you can still fight back."
The clip spreads like wildfire.
Billboards flash:
> "Scars Speak."

Silas – Watching from an Unknown Location
A television plays Naomi's speech.
He's silent.
Then—he laughs.
> "You didn't break."
"Good."
He marks a new location on the world map.
Nigeria.
> "Time for the next miracle."
He taps the map again.
Mexico City.
Then Seoul.
> "She'll chase my ashes across the planet.
And with every burn, I'll become her shadow."

Naomi — Meeting with the Remaining Resistance
Still weak.
Still stitched.
But standing.
> "No more units. No more backup."
"I don't need another army."
She opens her jacket — reveals the scars.
> "He wanted me to carry his name."
> "So I will — to his grave."

Final Scene
Silas boards a freighter disguised as a tech executive.
He watches clouds roll over the Atlantic.
One follower asks:
> "Where next, sir?"
Silas replies without looking.
> "Wherever she thinks she can save."
"That's where I'll be waiting."
---
Final Line:
> "She was my final victim," Silas murmurs,
"and now she's my first prophet."
