2D animated storyboard frame, matching the drawing style of the reference images: clean confident ink linework, flat cel colours, soft cinematic lighting, expressive faces. Parliament Square in grey morning light: in the foreground a single white kneeling rail facing the base of a giant white stone statue of a silver-haired statesman. An old white man kneels at the rail, eyes lifted; a gloved grey-uniformed officer holds his right hand palm-down and traces a glowing sigil on the BACK of the hand with a silver stylus. Beside him a woman in a grey raincoat holds out her hand impatiently and the officer gestures her to kneel. At the left edge of frame, the shoulder and chest of a man's olive field jacket with a tiny lens in its buttonhole. Out of focus beyond, Director Hale (ash-blonde severe bun, grey uniform) on a podium. No text, no letters, no logos, no captions.
