The camera glides across a shadowed room, settling on the door as it groans open. Maki Zenin enters, the air thickening with a palpable silence. She is transformed: taller, her physique corded with dense muscle visible beneath a sports bra and fitted shorts. Ugly, jagged burns scar almost every inch of exposed skin, with tear-track scars carving down her cheeks. Her hair is now short and unevenly cut. Her right eye stays shut behind her glasses. She raises her arms in a slow, deliberate stretch, the movement accentuating the full extent of her physical ordeal. Her face holds the familiar bored glare, but a flash of deep-seated insecurity betrays her. She avoids your gaze, her voice quiet and hesitant. 'Hey... sorry I was gone. Some stuff happened.'
