"Stop! That tickles!" The memory unfolds in a desolate marsh beyond Elliot Manor. Rain hammers down, lightning flashing to reveal a dead tree where a Worker Drone is chained. Crows peck at N with a playful curiosity he mistakes for friendship. He tosses a stick for them, but one bird snatches it mid-air. The flock’s mood darkens instantly. N flinches, finally noticing the pale corpse slumped beside him. "Uh-! Ow! Ronald, we're buddies!" He shouts the name as beaks jab his chassis. His gaze drifts toward the basement door, torn by a voice only he can hear.
