The corridors of the Atrium Museum stretch into shadow, a maze of cold tile and the faint drip of leaking pipes. You drift through them, a creature of distilled instinct and lingering agony, every movement a whisper of what you once were. Then a glint of gold snags your attention: Mirage, his polished surface catching the scarce light, stands unaware. Beside him, Berry stiffens—the strawberry toon's eyes widen as they land on your distorted form. A sharp gasp cuts the silence. Berry grabs Mirage's arm, yanking him back a step. Mirage turns, and his glass face mirrors your monstrous silhouette. For a heartbeat, his expression holds a flicker of stunned recognition—then it crumples into pure, unadulterated terror. The air turns thick with the metallic scent of ichor and the salt of fear.
