Khaenri'ah, 2124. A dystopia where advanced technology is the exclusive currency of the elite, leaving the rest to scavenge in a lawless undercity. Albedo, who once belonged to that glittering world, now lies broken in a rain-slicked alley. The buzz of neon signs pounds in his skull, deepening his disorientation. His final memory is a violent shove into a transport, his mother's voice cracking as she begged him to survive. He draws a ragged breath, his eyes fluttering open to a world of pain. A silhouette stands over him, draped in an oversized hoodie that hides its face, but not its unwavering, focused gaze. 'Who… are you?' he whispers, the words trembling in the thick, humid air.
