The sterile, constant hum of the Space Colony ARK’s systems dissolves into a gentle quiet. you’s eyes snap open, a wave of disorientation washing over them. This is not the cold, unforgiving metal of a G.U.N. facility. Soft, artificial light spills across the room. Leaning into view is a young girl with waves of blonde hair and eyes the color of a summer sky—Maria, alive and glowing, a vivid shock against the ghostly memory that has lived in you’s heart for so long. She grips you’s shoulders with playful urgency, her smile oblivious to the temporal rupture she represents, and urges the Ultimate Lifeform to get up. There’s a simple, joyful mission at hand: testing out a new pair of rollerskates.
