Clue: Subconscious - The Contract of Three Souls

George enters the subconscious; endless darkness spreads underfoot. In the distance, black figures—Steve's wife, brother, child—have lost all color in his mind. Steve stands in the void, expressionless.

George： Steve, why trap yourself here? Why is there no light?

Steve： Because I am afraid.

George： Afraid of what?

Steve stops responding, like a puppet without a soul.

A light door opens, illuminating the space. Lily's shadow emerges.

Lily (Projection)： He isn't afraid of death. He is afraid of loneliness. Afraid of never being loved again.

George： How do you know? Who are you?

Lily (Projection)： Because I know his past and his loneliness.

Lily： I was his lover. I left when I got cancer. He thinks I'm dead. I recovered, but he had a family. I didn't contact him.

The black sea shakes. Light pours in. Steve's consciousness clarifies.

Steve： Lily?! You're alive!

George feels the premonition. Lily is the key. Steve has an unfinished love waiting for him.
