# The Departure (Second Cycle of Humanity) — AI-made sci-fi short

A 132-second vertical AI-generated short about a dying old man in a dystopian ward who refuses a cheap robot body, passes into a sunlit meadow where glowing figures of his family wait, and ends with his wife taking her turn. It is told through close-up faces and yellow subtitles, with a cold-teal to warm-gold colour shift marking the crossing.
