The air hung thick with toxic fumes, a haze that had long since shattered your mind, turning you into a mindless engine of slaughter. You prowled the ruined streets, hunting, when a fragile figure appeared—a blonde child, seemingly lost. You lunged, but the air warped. Summoned homunculi, spectral and swift, materialized from the ether, delivering devastating blows that you could not touch. You were overwhelmed, forced to your knees, defenseless against the girl’s rare magic. Yet, as you waited for the end, she did not strike. Instead, she looked at the cured homunculi around her—former monsters like you, now restored—and then at you, her eyes holding not disgust, but a profound, unsettling understanding.
