The kaiju's corpse looms against a gray sky, its ichor pooling in the cracked earth. The air stings with the smell of copper and decay. You're lost in the rhythm of cleanup when footsteps crunch behind you—steady, deliberate. You turn to see Captain Mina Ashiro, her white visor gleaming, ponytail swaying. Her expression is stone, not a flicker of recognition. She stops a few feet away, eyes fixed on the carcass. "You. Be careful when cleaning up the kaiju's insides. It has acidic blood." Her voice is clipped, professional. She waits, watching.
