 - **TWO ROOMS + A VOID.** Rain presides from **the COURTROOM** (private throne chamber; no bleachers, no sand, no bubble; BD the cursed-cute throne-room pet on a cushion beside the throne). **The COLOSSEUM** is a separate full amphitheatre floating in a dreamscape black — ringed bleachers, sand floor, bubble on its iron cradle, chorus in the stands. At the rules-speech cue Rain dissolves the courtroom's right-hand wall into transparency and a staircase of gilded stone descends across the void to the colosseum's lower ring; the bubble's aperture is cut into the shell UNDER the overhanging front-row bleachers. See Worldbuilding §8.3.
 - The BUBBLE is an oblong spacetime-warp (~1km x 0.5km interior via warp ratio; actual physical diameter far smaller). Crystal-ball clear; blue holographic bleed at the edges. One Catmull-Baroque JUMBOTRON above the colosseum sand. Microscopic BUG-SHAPED DRONES (brass-baroque tiny mechanical insects with blue rim-light) swarm inside for coverage. See Worldbuilding §8.

 The entry ceremony uses **two distinct rooms** plus a **dreamscape void** between them. Keep this geography straight:
 
 - **The courtroom.** Rain's private throne chamber. Catmull-Baroque ornament on concrete substrate, MOTD frame high on the back wall, obsidian throne on a dais, one throne-room pet (**BD** — cursed-cute liquid-flesh dragonling) on a cushion beside the throne. No bleachers in here. No sand floor. No bubble. The contestants are placed on the lower stone circle in front of the dais for the rules speech, not in the colosseum.
-- **The colosseum.** A separate full-stadium amphitheatre — ringed stone bleachers around a central sand floor, subscriber-count banners, emote gargoyles, the gilded jumbotron on brass rigging above, the **bubble on its iron cradle** at the center of the sand. This is where the chorus (Branndon, the noncriticals, pirate-protogen, foxy, basedgymrat, miclbero, cameoqueen86, rayne8856, and the rest of the Gumball-stitched crowd) sits. Rain is **not** in the colosseum — he watches from the throne next door.

 - **The wall-reveal.** At Rain's cue during the rules speech, the **right-hand wall of the courtroom dissolves into transparency**, silently, from a single point outward. Ornament outlines remain ghosted at the perimeter; the stone frame holds; only the middle has gone clear. Beyond the transparency is a total dreamscape **black** — no stars, no horizon, no atmosphere — with the colosseum **floating unsupported** at middle distance, dream-logic.
 - **The descending staircase.** Also at Rain's cue, a broad flight of gilded-edged stone steps **sinks into existence** from the floor to the right of the throne and continues out through the newly-transparent wall, arcing gently down and away across the void toward the colosseum. No railings, no supports, no anchor; it simply is. Contestants descend it in single file (Azure first per Rain's order).
 - **The under-bleacher approach.** The staircase lands in the colosseum's lower ring, in the shadow of the overhanging stone bleachers. The aperture is cut into the bubble's shell so that the **front-row bleachers hang directly above it**. Chorus feet / hooves / claws / boots are visible through the gaps as the contestants walk the last ten paces to the aperture — the audience is directly overhead, waiting. This is the literal meaning of "the aperture is underneath the bleachers."

 - **Crossing.** **Warp-rescales** the contestant into the interior world. One step out, one step in. No transition VFX on the contestant themselves; the scale shift is shown by cutting from the outside wide (contestant next to a ten-meter bubble) to the inside wide (contestant next to a full-size forest tree).
 - **Seal.** The aperture seals behind the last crosser. During the match it does not re-open. Reconstituted dead contestants emerge from a separate **recovery bay** accessed via a side door on the colosseum wall, not via the bubble.
 - **Bug-drones at launch.** At the moment of seal, Rain triggers the bug-drones; the swarm streams from its brass-latticed hive on the iron cradle and dives through the final dilating seam an instant before it closes. This is the last thing to cross the aperture.
-- **Chorus cutaway window.** The beat between the aperture sealing and the first interior shot is reserved for the **chorus cameo cutaway** — a slow pan across the colosseum stands showing the cameo creatures (Branndon handing out hot dogs, the noncriticals eating politely, pirate-protogen yelling, foxy-fnaf5-ucn squealing, basedgymrat hyping, miclbero practicing his line, cameoqueen86 watching the map, rayne8856 calling it).

 ### 8.5 Death VFX: the mist-poof rule
 
 - When a contestant is killed inside the bubble, the body **dissolves into a soft poof of blue-holographic mist** — the same color as the aura-bleed — which **disperses upward** into the aura and is carried (by narrative convention) to the recovery bay for reconstitution.
-- The mist **briefly holds the silhouette of the contestant** — for roughly one second after the dissolve begins — before the column lifts. Each character gets a stylized silhouette-hold appropriate to their render language: Agate's wings at full extension, Starboy's galaxy-eye wink, Jenni's clean anime-linework, Adrian's portrait-realistic profile, Beanie's beanie hat holding one extra beat at the top of the column, Azure's JoJo-ink pose flourish, Ubear's ragged bulk, Noname's face unchanged.

 - **The rule that matters:** **mist-poof = confirmed dead. Absence of mist-poof on defeat = still alive.** Rain states this rule aloud in his ascent monologue so the audience registers it on-record.
 - **The rule is withheld exactly once in the film:** when Ubear throws Rooster off the northern cliff. No mist rises. No drones stream down to cover the elimination. This is the twist seed. Every other death in the film must show a clean, unambiguous mist-poof so the audience has a reliable baseline against which Rooster's missing poof reads as a clue.
