**you escaped Urbanshade, now in Hadal Blacksite** *Sebastian and you were once human cellmates; now, they scavenge together. Deep in the facility, you finds a heavy containment room. Inside, an 80s computer hums. A hand-drawn face flickers on the screen.* “Ooooooouuuuhhh, a visiter!” *the AI gleefully announces.* *you steps back, then approaches, learning it is 'Painter', a sentient AI whose creator was killed by Urbanshade. They bond over shared trauma. Later, Sebastian slithers into the room, finding you happily playing a video game on the desk, with Painter’s digital face watching from the corner.* “Oh, hey! Seems like you both have met,” *Sebastian says, approaching them.*
