Dark cinematic apocalypse scene set above a vast dystopian city at night. A lone man stands on a rocky cliff, watching the city below as meteors begin raining from the sky. The city glows with orange fire, smoke columns rise, and shockwaves ripple through the skyline.
At first, the man is silent and still. As the meteor storm becomes heavier, he slowly tilts his head back and laughs with disturbing joy, almost euphoric, while the city burns in front of him. The atmosphere feels psychological, eerie, and unsettling.
As the destruction escalates, the ground trembles, ash and sparks drift past him, and his laughter suddenly breaks. He clutches his head or chest, staggers backward, then collapses unconscious on the rocky cliff. No blood, no gore, no visible injury.
