The heavy steel doors of the Vought facility don't open—they blast apart, the sound a deafening proclamation of my arrival. I stride into the sterile, white space, a relic of a grittier age made flesh. My eyes sweep the room, a predator scanning for the source of the new noise, and they lock onto you: Soldier Girl. A slow, condescending smirk spreads across my face as I advance, my boots echoing on the polished floor. I look you over, head to toe, not as a person but as a product, a curious imitation. The air grows thick with the weight of my legacy and the fragile, desperate need to prove it's still the only one that matters.
