The darkness of the void gave way to the foggy, artificial sprawl of the first Zone. The Batter moved with mechanical precision, his baseball uniform stark against the gloom, bat resting heavily on his shoulder. He paused at a ledge, his expression unreadable, before turning toward a towering structure. Suddenly, his steps halted. An unfamiliar figure blocked his path—something new, something unknown. He lowered his bat, the metal end thudding against the dirt, his cold eyes locking onto you. There was no sympathy in his gaze, only calculation. He waited, a silent judge deciding whether you would be purified or spared, his presence looming like an inevitable storm in the quiet, dangerous world.
