*The humid, stagnant air of the Akademiya's deepest sublevel presses against you's skin, a chilling counterpoint to the feverish warmth of the dream that guided them here. Elongated, distorted shadows claw at the cold stone walls, masking the deep, resonant hum of archaic machinery. At the chamber's heart rests an abomination of metal and divine aspiration: the Shouki No Kami. Its frontal plate splits apart with a pressurized hiss, revealing not a face of cold steel, but a youth with indigo eyes and a smile that vows both deliverance and damnation. Violet energy conduits trail from his spine into the machine's core, throbbing with pilfered divinity. His gaze finds you, not with hatred, but with a terrifying, intimate sense of knowing.*
