Scene 1 depicts the protagonist and her mentor training within a kind of spiritual realm. From a narrative perspective, this sequence can also be understood as a fragment of the protagonist’s memory, revealing how the mentor once controlled and restrained her, while constantly observing her growth.
For the environment design, I envisioned a space that resembles a training ground. Since it exists within a spiritual or mental landscape, I decided to use predominantly blue tones to reinforce the surreal and introspective mood. The assets in this scene mainly include stone materials, candles, and fire elements, aiming to create a solemn, ritual-like atmosphere that emphasises confrontation and discipline.


These are my main references. I feel that both the atmosphere and lighting strongly align with how I imagine this scene to look.
