|
## 🎬 THE "AHA!" MOMENT
|
|
|
|
**In Intro Flashback:**
|
|
```javascript
|
|
// Show ORIGINAL ANA (purple, magenta, cute)
|
|
flashbackScene.showMemory('original_ana');
|
|
// Blur effect - "This is my little sister..."
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**When Kai Finds Her:**
|
|
```javascript
|
|
// Show NOVA TWIN ANA (pink/green dreads, red eyes)
|
|
// Kai's reaction: "Wait... is that... IT'S HER!"
|
|
// Recognition moment despite changes
|
|
// "Those eyes... that stance... my TWIN!"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**The Reveal:**
|
|
- Ana's arrogant smirk (same as childhood)
|
|
- Specific gesture only she does
|
|
- Voice tone matching memory
|
|
- **Amnesia blur clears completely**
|
|
- "She's not little anymore. She's my blood. My twin."

## 📝 NARRATIVE NOTES
|
|
|
|
**Why Two Versions?**
|
|
- Represents Kai's amnesia fog clearing
|
|
- Shows how apocalypse changes people
|
|
- "Memory vs Reality" visual storytelling
|
|
- Powerful recognition moment for player
|
|
|
|
**Emotional Impact:**
|
|
- Player sees "purple cute Ana" in flashback
|
|
- Searches entire game for "little sister"
|
|
- Finds "punk twin warrior Ana" instead
|
|
- Moment of "Is that her?" → "Those eyes... YES!"
|
|
- Tears moment when recognition happens
|
|
|
|
**David's Philosophy:**
|
|
> "System no change me. I change the system!"
|
|
> Ana changed, but her CORE (twin bond) never changed.
