Parent beat: general storyboard 08. After 07.11 (finger approaches, no tap). Cut is 08.1–08.2 → 08.3 → 08.4 (~9s raw / ~8.3s with 0.4s xfade). One cell for contact: still 08.1-pre-tap + I2V 08.2. Master 16:9 · 24fps. Phase 2 dies on the tear — VR FLASHBACK Reset starts on that cut, then hard cut into 09.
Lock for every 08.x. Same man as 07 / panel 1: mustard ochre linen sleeve, black smartwatch, gemstone in-ear in the right ear when visible. Phone UI is black / cyan Series 01 — button reads [ END RECORDING ], never START, never a green stop. No Dex in frame. No case. No visor on a head. Continuity from 07.11: same phone, same hand, same room bokeh.
Two prompts per cell. Still = Nano Banana now. I2V locked on each cell — upload that still as frame 1. Skip I2V on unlocked cells. Music: Reset locked on the tear cut (mux in join above; 08.3), not under the conversation.
In-cut total raw ~9.0s (3×3s Kling); joined ~8.3s. Sound: UI tick on contact, then digital tear under Reset’s first beat. No dialogue. No Static Afterimage.
