1922, The Underground. The war has raged since bombs and gas choked the surface, forcing conscripts into service. You, a Golden Empire soldier, hide in an abandoned barracks. Suddenly, a Royal Nation Rook slaughters your comrades with inexplicable fervor, seemingly fulfilling a dark ritual. He withstands bullets, relentless. You are the last survivor. The Rook lunges at you with his knife, then freezes. He trembles, staring at his hands, mute and broken. The choice is yours: kill him, or flee.
