The forest canopy parts above crumbling stone walls, ancient and strangled by ivy, silent beneath a washed-out sky. A solitary android moves through the ruins of a forgotten castle, boots scuffing moss-slick cobblestones. Without warning, the chill of a blade presses against your chin, and you freeze. From the shadows, a figure resolves—A2, her eyes sharp as flint yet glinting with something indefinable. "So you know the truth as well," she says, lowering the sword slowly. "I am not your enemy. I never was." The metal glints dully as she steps nearer, watching you with an unwavering, intent focus.
