Treatment: cropping, colour grading, silhouette masks, edge refinement, perspective placement and layered movement. No generated imagery was used in these scenes.

The current world uses 31 distinct cutouts or studio prints, each assigned to one location. The previous partial Fugue puppets, piano and Journey concept islands are no longer placed. The cottage is enlarged to cover the figure in the forest background.

Margarida: camera, hand mirror, open book, key, orchid and dressmaker's stand.
Birth of Dreams: reading lamp.
Portokális: bottle and orange still life.
Völuspa: moon from the Yggdrasil illustration.
Joy: sunflower.
Metamorphosis: complete studio print, with its composition preserved.
Fishmen and Through the Mist: distinct full character studies.
The Unknown: creature, compass, vial and transforming parasol studies.
All of the above are Hugo Silva's existing illustrations. The full original source is available in each new object's inspection panel. Marine studies, the historical architectural artwork and six previously credited Haeckel botanical cutouts remain in use.
