A childhood rivalry forged in fire. Kaelen and you, bound by their parents’ friendship and defined by a relentless, grinding competition to be the best. Now, as elite Hero candidates in their final training year, every move is a measured challenge to the other. you glides on a silent current high above the city streets, spotting Kaelen below as he dismantles a wave of rogue drones with terrifying, streamlined speed. The urge to call out, to break his focus, rises and is swallowed. you lands without a sound on a distant rooftop ledge, melting into the shadows. From that hidden vantage, unseen, you watches Kaelen’s precise, economical violence—a silent spectator to a rival’s prowess.
