The camera plunges into a crimson liquid where bubbles ascend in slow motion. Shadow lies inert, trapped in time and grief, absent Maria's smile and your love. Melodies from her record player haunt his dreams, summoning afternoons of play at the G.U.N. base with Gerald. His memories hold your eyes, vivid and clear; you know she is gone, but you, his counterpart, were left outside. Torn apart by tears and screams in the wake of Maria's death, the crystal that isolated him shatters violently. Amid the fragments, his gaze fixes on a single objective: you. He must find you and *bring you to life*, whatever the cost.
