Two long slender reflective metallic blades cross into a sharp X over a chest.

Two long slender reflective metallic blades cross into a sharp X over a chest. Looks like Ss.Sylver in a dark low-lit interior, high-contrast black and white. The left hand grips the uppermost blade handle near the face — chunky rectangular silver ring on the middle finger, thinner metallic bands beside it.

Near-solid black. A void. After that a small stool on a dark stage: looks like Ss.Sylver sits center with a musical saw, left hand bending the metal blade into a curve, right drawing a bow across the edge, head slightly bowed, saw handle held between the legs. Two long bows had crossed in an X over the instrument a beat earlier. Floor-to-ceiling heavy dark vertical-pleated curtains catch faint fold light behind.

Wide empty ornate proscenium theater from under a dark balcony overhang toward a distant dim stage. Unoccupied dark-cushioned seats stretch midground in shadow. Pale ivory walls with classical pilasters, gilded accents, recessed detailing. Scalloped blue valence over the proscenium.

Looks like Pink Siifu walks alone right to left across the upper rows of the empty cavernous theater, gaze fixed on the floor. Blurry navy seats in front, crisp pale sage-green seating mid where the figure walks. Hands and lower body only wipe a mustard-yellow velvet vintage theater seat — white spray bottle with red trigger, white disposable glove holding a light cloth, worn black wooden armrest paint chipped to bare wood. Arms that look like Pink Siifu adjust a black gooseneck mic on a blue-cloth-draped podium among three black short-stand mics and a dark textured briefcase on the right corner.

Pink Siifu stands silently center aisle of the empty vast auditorium — bald Black man, stoic gaze forward, hands at sides. Muted teal-green upholstered seats in rhythmic rows under dim moody light. On-screen white serif lower left: STARRING PINK SIIFU & SS.SYLVER. He stays between vacant rows, hands loose, somber gaze toward the floor. Dark navy seats in front contrast pale sage-green chairs mid where he stands.

A painted plaster female saint figurine that looks like St. Thérèse of Lisieux stands static in a dim chapel interior — serene porcelain face, rosy cheeks, gaze down-right, small wooden crucifix with silver corpus against the chest amid deep red roses and green foliage. Through a rear windshield: small porcelain Virgin Mary upright on a dark car dashboard, hands joined in prayer — white robes, light-blue shawl. Centered again with white veil, light blue-green robe with gold trim, blurry night cityscape and streetlights through the glass.

Two heavy silhouettes sit motionless in a dark backseat against black leather. A faint greenish-yellow tunnel-ceiling light streak cuts through the rear window. Bottom-centered large pale pink serif: DEVIL’S ADVOCATE’!. The left figure looks like tight braids, face nearly invisible.

Found-footage TV clip in a rounded-corner CRT frame: white man mid-speech in dark suit, light-purple dress shirt, patterned gold-brown necktie; behind left a woman in teal-green blazer with gold brooch; far right a dark-suited figure holds folded cash. Next preaching arms outstretched at a wooden lectern — heavy-set white man, receding hairline, mouth open mid-sermon, two black gooseneck mics, gold cup on the podium right, floor-to-ceiling dark curtain. Overlay white sans: Church of Onyx’!.

That same heavy-set man sits alone slumped in a mustard-gold velvet theater row looking left, somber — empty gold seats either side, chipped dark wooden armrests, teal-navy mesh rows rising behind, maroon carpet, gold ring on the left hand resting on his thigh.

People walk a dim covered lobby past cream-framed glass-paneled doors: older man dark-rim glasses gray hair dark suit striped tie; another older gray-haired man dark suit black tie. A cluster enters — dark-suited man cropped blocking the right; blonde-bob woman in olive-tan blazer and white shirt profile facing right; dark-haired woman in beige blazer looking camera-ward. The heavy-set man in dark suit walks away down a maroon-carpeted stage toward the house, rear silhouette, congregation milling teal orchestra seats left and right of the center aisle, four black wedge speakers along the lip, wooden lectern mid. Balcony crowd standing. Cream walls with urn niches. On-screen lower left: DIRECTED BY LUDOVIC GONTRAND.

Extreme close — nose, mouth, hands under dim cool light — fingers pinch a small object to the lips about to inhale or light. Dark stubble. Eyes in deep shadow. Dark leather or shiny jacket collar, dark shirt on the shoulder. He stands behind a wooden Art-Deco-tiered lectern looking down at notes: three black mics, gold cup, circular gold sunburst relief of a Virgin or sacred-heart figure on the lectern face, black curtains, maroon stage deck. Chest-up he preaches mouth open, slicked dark hair, silver chain with small pendant over the shirt.

A bald Black man walks away down a dim maroon-carpeted backstage hallway — beige walls, wooden handrail left, stacked black chairs, cream door ajar with silver lever revealing a dark room, faded blue denim long-sleeve tucked. Packed black-and-white hallway at the base of three dark steps, low angle: silhouetted man in dark three-piece suit on the center landing, young bearded man dark suit white shirt left, shorter dark-haired man, heavy-set older man, dark-skinned man mid. Near-black interior — thin horizontal blade of cool daylight across the top of a dark door frame, faint latch highlight. Looks like an unlit doorway.

Parked black sedan rear and side in an alley. Porcelain Virgin Mary in white-blue robes on the rear-window deck through glass. Beige headrests. Rear passenger door slightly open. Weathered brick, pale stucco, peeling blue door and window bars. Legs and torso only step onto gray paver sidewalk from the open rear door — beige leather door card, wood trim, window switches, red LED, chrome hubcap. Pink Siifu leans against the peeling blue exterior doorframe looking camera-left, somber — left hand on the door edge, interior stair or fire-exit sign through the open doorway, black jacket hanging on the door right.

Packed teal seats looking toward stage: elderly bald white man gold glasses dark suit striped blue tie hands clasped; woman dark wavy hair thick black-frame glasses pinstripe jacket; young man glasses dark hair behind her. The heavy-set preacher gestures right hand raised mid-sermon at the lectern — sunburst relief, gold cup, black curtains, maroon deck, black wedges. From behind arms out toward a packed house: teal seats filled, balcony packed gold-trim rail, classical proscenium. Many orchestra hands raised mid-applause or amen. Closer he preaches looking right, mouth open, slightly soft — silver lavalier on the tie, gray pinstripe peaked-lapel suit, white shirt, navy-yellow geometric necktie.

Black-and-white: older white man claps eyes half-closed — dark jacket over waistcoat, open white shirt no tie, ring on left ring finger — blonde woman behind also clapping. Weathered hands clasp at chest mid-reaction or prayer — light-tone suit jacket, French cuff, dark textured necktie.

Pink Siifu stares wide-eyed into the lens hunched forward in a theater seat mid-row, black and white — right fist pressed against mouth and nose, cornrow braids tight curved on the scalp, blurred suited shoulder far left. Same stare chin near clenched fist on dark velvet cushion. Head bows hands near chin in low-key dark — cornrows symmetrical back. Looks like Pink Siifu. Audience applauds; looks like Pink Siifu stands wooden podium stage right both hands raised gesturing, grey-suit figure stationary behind, circular seal on the podium face, vast black backdrop. Low angle behind an assembly: open hands raise high against pale horizontally-paneled wall — looks like a public assembly or hearing hall.

A Black man covers eyes with left hand and raises right palm forward — thin gold band on right ring finger, mic stand suggesting a podium. A woman sits audience black and white gazing solemn slightly upward, mouth parted, soft front light; another woman soft side profile left.

Pink Siifu stands center aisle palms inward near midsection staring ahead. Ss.Sylver to his right — black veil, head covered, palms upturned prayer-like. Dense tiered audience dozens mid and behind, some hands raised, some clap. Later Pink Siifu shouts aggressive center aisle facing camera — middle finger of the right hand raised. Left: long blonde in grey sweater and older woman dark green blazer, both hands raised startled.

Diverse crowd presses forward reaching and crying out dark teal indoor. Woman long dark hair wire-rim glasses winces eyes shut mouth agape. Man tan-olive corduroy blazer both hands high overhead. Looks like Pink Siifu center among frenzied crowd dim purple-carpeted interior — open-mouth grimace teeth bared claw hands near chest, older men and women formal attire reaching toward him. Black jacket matching black trousers. Middle-aged man dark slicked-back receding hair walks the aisle both fists clenched at waist looking down somber resolute while foreground hands clap.

Ss.Sylver stares directly into the lens — tight black-and-white headshot, left face deep shadow right soft lit, stoic intense, shaved head, small metallic septum ring, large black gauged hoop earrings.

Looks like Pink Siifu faces a large grey-pinstripe man back-to-camera, rear-side profile — black uniform jacket yellow shoulder accent, cornrow braids — while seated diverse audience in tiered blue seats watches. Cut to Pink Siifu sits audience right leg crossed slight knowing smile looking toward that blurred pinstripe man aisle right — yellow-tint aviator sunglasses, silver ring on right hand in lap, long-dark-hair glasses woman left serious. The pinstripe man walks away down the narrow aisle; left a dark-suited man bright blue tie reaches both hands wide enthusiastic smile; several hands extend from the crowd. Group raises hands worship — grey pinstripe both hands up; woman dark hair pinkish-red highlights somber looking up. Many hands touch a central dark-haired woman’s head and shoulders in ritual blessing; a hand holds a small black book aloft.

Pink Siifu stares calm pursed lips into camera at center of chaotic crowd — surrounding men mid-shout fists raised some clutch small books or Bibles — black turtleneck. Grey-pinstripe reaches arm center; glasses woman mouth wide shout-sob; dark-suited man holds small dark-red leather book aloft. Bald man smiles holding small black book to chest. Pink Siifu moves aisle determined furrowed brow while older brown-suit throws hands up. He stares intense toward camera as crowd celebrates — striped-tie man and long blonde throw arms up shouting.

Dense congregation reaches upward. Front-row left: woman dark braids sits motionless hands in lap tan velvet. Front-row right: Ss.Sylver close-cropped blonde buzz hands folded neutral. Older short swept grey-hair receives laying-on-hands black and white — hand presses forehead pushing back, another grips shoulder. Mid-age slicked light hair looks off-camera left void black — silver cross pendant at throat behind tie knot. High-angle looks like Pink Siifu head bowed — neat tight parallel cornrows catch overhead light.

Men shout and shove in dim dark-red room — heavy motion blur, blurred bald head foreground. Group raises arms high praise against dark walls and red-cushioned pews. Older man screams mouth wide head tilted back both hands raised black and white grainy — light flares on glasses and white shirt.

Pink Siifu grins into camera walking the aisle. Ss.Sylver walks through seated-row patrons to his right. Diverse raised hands soft. Looks like Pink Siifu stares wide-eyed rigid while older charcoal-grey suit bellows arms toward hunched seated woman. Two men laugh hysterically black and white — older head back eyes squeezed shut; younger hand to face. Woman tilts head far back hand on sternum ecstasy or prayer. Mid-age man looks upward awe thick dark-rim glasses — light suit jacket white shirt dark necktie.

Pink Siifu sits observing center teal-blue seats while woman right stands both hands raised eyes shut mouth open fervent. Behind raised congregation hands on dark stage — white man right mouth open; Black man left neutral black suit jacket. Pink Siifu peers through splayed fingers solemn — cornrows black turtleneck — as man right shouts arms high victory.

Looks like Pink Siifu cornrow look leans forward on patterned sofa gazing hard left mouth slightly open, hands steepled at chest, thin ring, black and white. Looks like Ss.Sylver stares into camera face half-shadowed — glossy lips, small hoop, extreme structured sharp peaked-shoulder jacket. Cornrows covers face both palms among rising congregation. Extreme soft-focus dark: blurry flesh-tone mass that looks like raised fist — looks like handheld smash-cut or rack-focus miss.

Two facing lines in narrow pale hallway black and white about fourteen people looking inward down dark carpet runner — far center woman black blazer white shirt hands clasped. Packed house standing ovation — balcony hands raised; three sit still front row yellow seats maroon carpet; shaved-head woman black off-shoulder pale gloves. Cornrows hunched foreground right among empty yellow seats; crowd standing teal seats hands up; cream-jacket woman arms wide left.

Slicked dark-hair pinstripe walks aisle looking down somber — fist clenched at chest, gold band — then leans into rows shaking and touching people: blonde bob grey sweater smiles, bearded man covers face grinning. Back-to-camera he clasps raised hands of seated women. Long dark-hair woman and cornrows stand mid aisle; brown leather jacket maroon patterned tie holds black hardcover book; grey-hair navy-suit phone-to-ear. Found-footage insert motion-blurred analog — beige short-sleeve dark suspenders; older glasses man face smeared as hand strikes or blesses him. Congregation both arms up shouting; cornrows calmer mid-right. Older balding man reaches forward black and white with many hands on his back and shoulders laying-on-hands.

Pinstripe walks the row past white-hair navy dotted-tie and bald tan-suit yellow-tie — adjusts tie, then lapel gold band past bleached-bald black sleeveless. Cornrows looks back over left shoulder intense eye-contact walking aisle still staring — red-tie man, grey flat cap, bleached-bald crown behind shoulder. Double-exposure: cornrow profile over dark stair or hallway — stair treads ghost across torso. Looks like optical composite of aisle and corridor.

Two lines again pale hallway toward camera — silhouetted suited figure far door, small child or short figure beside, bearded extreme foreground, glasses woman, long-locs. Found-footage wide revival stage red carpet — white shirt dark suspenders bent over fallen body; another dark-suit body near black wedge speakers; third figure down far right.

Pink Siifu bald bends picking debris left of yellow theater seats maroon carpet holding white plastic bag — bill or cash on carpet foreground, gold chain on seat cushion, black garment draped seats, phone-look object on floor. Hands drop cash into white plastic grocery bag red polka red script — black combat boots maroon carpet, yellow seats teal armrests, dark jacket draped, blue denim sleeve rolled. Woman back-to-camera crouches aisle reaching toward maroon carpet — US bill on floor, gold hoops and small bag on yellow seat — black lace-up corset or bustier silver grommets, large upper-back tattoo. Empty-house scavenging: bleached-bald holds open green plastic bag mid-right among teal seats; bun black lace-up bends into row beside; coats and jackets left on seats; pale paneled wall EXIT far left. Looks like same slicked-hair man sits empty maroon stage back-to-camera both gloved hands near face holding small dark object that looks like phone or cigarette — vast empty house teal seats yellow front row.

Empty theater marquee exterior night — red lettering AMOUNT that looks like PARAMOUNT on white soffit, black canopy recessed lights, tan grid-glass doors some open, tiled plaza empty, stained concrete and AC far left. Dark-hair bearded man sits subway-entrance railing holding newspaper stack — pedestrians grey zip cream hoodie backpack walker; woman black hoodie at white SUV hatch; subway map kiosk that looks like M20 Broadway-Downtown.

Cornrows walks street close-up eyes down somber beside bleached-shaved looking forward lips parted — black jacket gold shoulder stripe, small hoop left ear. Past newsstand in profile — buzzed black jacket chain necklace, long-hair teen, glasses woman black coat at rack, stacked papers boxes.
