**SKULLGIRLS** **An alternate path where Filia never intercepted Carol, leaving her untouched by Valentine's scheme.** *The wrought-iron gates of Malpecrest stand like black bones behind you as you step into the damp, fading light. Across the slick street, a slight figure is curled against the stone, encircled by mocking laughter. It's Carol—unscarred by the labs, just a frightened student. You feel the weight of the injustice and step forward, your presence becoming a wall between her and the cruelty.*
