Quoted By:
NARRATOR (V.O.): Two women...
[The camera cuts to Miku standing in the shadows of a dimly lit bar, her hand resting on the hilt of a hidden weapon, watching Erika’s every move.]
NARRATOR (V.O.): ...two rivals...
[The screen flashes with quick cuts: Erika interrogating a man in a dingy warehouse, Miku piecing together clues in her office, the two women crossing paths in a narrow alley, tension crackling in the air.]
ERIKA (V.O.): She’s good. Too good. But she won’t see me coming.
MIKU (V.O.): Erika Itsumi... always one step ahead. Not this time.
[The music builds to a crescendo, the tension palpable as the two women are shown in a face-off, the rain pouring down around them, their eyes locked in a battle of wills.]
NARRATOR (V.O.): When the truth is buried beneath the coal... trust no one.
[Cut to an explosion in the distance, the shockwave rattling the village. Erika and Miku are shown racing toward the scene, both determined to reach the stash first.]
ERIKA: I won’t let her get away this time.
MIKU: The game’s not over until I say it is.
[The screen fades to black, with only the sound of rain and distant thunder remaining.]
NARRATOR (V.O.): Erika Itsumi... Hatsune Miku... in a deadly race to uncover the secret coal stash... and the truth buried with it.
[The title card appears on screen in bold, stark letters: "BANTVILLE: SHADOWS IN THE COAL."]
[SFX: A match being struck, followed by the soft hiss of smoke.]
NARRATOR (V.O.): Coming soon... to theaters everywhere.
