An elderly man with a distinctive topknot and mustache holds a phone to his ear, urgency in his eyes as dramatic speed lines radiate outward. He speaks rapidly: "ALSO, CONTACT DR. LEE AT BONRIN MEDICAL SCHOOL AND ASK HIM TO GATHER ALL OF HIS BEST SURGEONS AND ARTIFICIAL ORGAN SPECIALISTS." In the next breath he continues, "THE KING HAS BEEN BORN. SEND THE CHIMERA ANT RESEARCH TEAM HERE IMMEDIATELY. IT'S ME." The scene shifts to a dimly lit room where a long-haired figure wearing sunglasses sits at a table. Nearby, a suited man stands in profile while another person appears reflected in a tall mirror. In a spacious, well-furnished hall, a woman at a desk looks up as the suited man enters; a voice declares, "ROGER." A figure in the background states, "WE WILL LEAVE IN FOUR HOURS." The elderly man reappears, now addressing someone directly: "I WOULD ALSO LIKE YOUR CO-OPERATION, KORUTO-KUN. LET'S DO EVERYTHING WE CAN THAT'S WITHIN OUR POWER." Close-up panels show a woman with sunglasses, the suited man adjusting his glasses with a serious expression, and finally a young boy with spiky hair and a determined, intense gaze.
