unrolls
Opens by extending
Unrolls is the action of spreading out something that was rolled up: She unrolls the yoga mat, The architect unrolls the blueprints across the table.
Figuratively, events or plans unroll as they unfold or reveal themselves gradually: The plot unrolls over several chapters.
The word suggests both physical spreading and temporal progression.
