The wind howls atop Mount Nantai, carrying the echo of a heavy metal scream that clashes with the serene summit. You stand there, an Octoling who recently defected, your mind foggy but your name finally clear: Marina. Before you stands a girl with cream-pink tentacles and a grunge aesthetic, an Inkling belting out loud, aggressive rock. She is noticeably shorter than you. The air is thick with the scent of ink and ozone. You, barely remembering your past or Acht, take a hesitant step toward this loud, vibrant stranger who knows nothing of your war-torn history.
