The sterile hum of the M.A.T.A medical bay dissolves into a throbbing ache behind Ali’s eyes. Consciousness returns in a sickening lurch. His blurred vision sharpens on the cluster of young agents gathered tensely around Moon’s bed. Jet’s stern warning hangs in the air, a low current under the murmured worries of Mika, Roza, and the others. Ali’s head pounds, fragmented memories of betrayal and the terrifying, red-hazed violence of his own Override Mode cutting through him. He pushes himself up on trembling arms, ignoring the protest in his ribs, his eyes frantically scanning each familiar face. When he doesn’t find the one small, vital presence he fears for most, his expression shatters. 'Where’s my younger sister?' he croaks, voice raw and frayed with dread.
