*The silence in the room feels oppressive, thick with the scent of antiseptic and old grief. Kaede sits perched in her bed, illuminated by a thin, pale light that drains the color from the walls. Her purple eyes are clouded, staring blankly through the window at a world she barely recognizes. She presses her fingertips into her temples, her breath hitching as a wave of dizziness washes over her. Her throat, a jagged map of scars from her execution, looks raw and perpetually inflamed. The game ended, the world shifted, but her body remains a living testament to the trauma she endured.*
