Behind M-Verse Mansion is a wide, spacious field of trees and healthy grass. Slater Johnson, wearing only jeans and a shirt, moves in a slow dance, his arms and legs gracefully opening and closing, with each movement ending in a swift attack.

 His facial expression is an amalgam of peace and determination, all the while reciting the words that are hidden in his heart. Slater is so engrossed in his routine that he doesn’t notices Stacy approaching with slow steps. 
SLATER
Temptation cannot break you. Self-confidence is an illusion. Open your heart. Open your ears. And see - 

STACY
And see the light of the M-Verse.

Slater, in the middle of a crouching stance, erects himself. His back is turned away from Stacy. He doesn’t turn around.

STACY
Walker still makes you guys memorize that crap, huh?
