13 13 301 DialogEnable With the sound of tires screeching, a raggedy jeep brakes abruptly in front of the ruins. The researcher called Angel jumps out of it with three Constructs.

16 16 301 1 Construct A The road has been destroyed. We have to go on foot, but... 1
17 17 301 As the four of them approach their destination, each begins to show different signs of infection.
18 18 301 Construct B The Punishing Virus concentration here is getting dangerously high. Are you sure she's here? 2

21 21 301 1 Angel You can turn around if you're scared. 1
22 22 301 Angel I know my sister is here for a fact, just like how she always found me when we played hide-and-seek as kids. Our blood has bonded us. 1
23 23 301 She injects herself with a serum, then runs forward without looking back.

26 26 301 1 Liadrin Angel. 2
27 27 301 A female Construct walks out of the ruins' shadows and calmly gazes at Angel.
28 28 301 Angel Sister! I found you! 1
29 29 301 Liadrin Actually, I found you. But he's right, you should turn around. 2
30 30 301 Angel Yes, I should go back, and so should you. 1
31 31 301 Liadrin I chose this, Angel. You shouldn't interfere. 2
32 32 301 Angel I just want to be with you, Sister! 1
33 33 301 Liadrin Be with me... 2
34 34 301 Liadrin Angel, when I fought as a Construct, I witnessed terrible deaths over and over again. 2
35 35 301 Liadrin At this rate, you'll lose me sooner or later. 2
36 36 301 Liadrin The only way to save me from the threat of the Punishing Virus is doing what Gabriel the angel told me to do. 2
37 37 301 Angel Really? 1
38 38 301 Angel If there is a shortcut, then why are we still fighting against the virus?! 1
39 39 301 Liadrin ... 2
40 40 301 Liadrin Good question. Every "shortcut" comes with a certain risk. However, if the alternative is to die in battle like the others, I'd rather take the risk. I was never born to fight. I was born to do research with you. 2
41 41 301 Angel Sister... Did you come to that conclusion after being wounded? 1
42 42 301 Liadrin ... 2
43 43 301 Angel I've always wanted to apologize... You gave up your future so that I could remain a researcher... 1
44 44 301 Liadrin ...Only I was compatible with the copolymers. It wasn't your fault. 2
45 45 301 Angel But... But if I also gave up my position, then we could've just survived as humans! 1
46 46 301 Liadrin Don't be silly. You only agreed to do research with me because that was the safest option. 2
47 47 301 Liadrin But ever since I became a Construct, you can't stay focused on your job. It's only a matter of time before you're fired. 2
48 48 301 Liadrin You know very well what it means to lose that job now. 2
49 49 301 Liadrin Regardless, there's no "if." I am what I am already. 2
50 50 301 Angel Did you conceal your injuries from me because you were worried about me? 1
51 51 301 There is a sudden movement in the shadows of the ruins, but no one besides Liadrin has sensed it at all.
52 52 301 Liadrin Angel, you have to leave now. 2
53 53 301 Angel Why? I won't leave without you. Come with me! 1
54 54 301 Angel We've been together since we were born. You're my only family left in this world! 1
55 55 301 Liadrin It's too dangerous here. Go, go with them! 2
56 56 301 Angel No! Sister... I always did what you told me to do... but this time... 1
57 57 301 Angel's voice is shaking. Tears rush out of her eyes uncontrollably. She tosses her gun and throws herself at Liadrin.
58 58 301 Angel Just let me follow my heart for once... Sister! 1
59 59 301 Liadrin tries to push away Angel, who is holding onto her arm, but in a split second—

62 62 301 Angel's body falls backward while her hand is still tightly clasping Liadrin's arm.
63 63 301 Liadrin Angel! 2
64 64 301 The other three Constructs react immediately to this horrifying scene. They hold up their weapons and fire fiercely at Gabriel, but all of them are incapacitated after just a few seconds.

66 66 301 1 Gabriel Looks like the material is here. 1
67 67 301 Liadrin What did you say?! 2
68 68 301 Gabriel I knew I was right about you. You have the gift. All you need is a little extra help. 1
69 69 301 Angel Sister...
70 70 301 Angel focuses away from the excruciating pain. She presses hard against her severed wrist and wipes off the blood splashed into her eyes.
71 71 301 But when she opens her eyes again, everything is still covered in red—the Punishing Virus is gushing out from Gabriel's hand. It then transforms into a bright red electric current and wraps itself around Liadrin like a bloody worm.
86 87 301 Liadrin's wailing echoes painfully over the ruins but does not bring her any comfort. The living creatures around the area regard it merely as shrieking winds.
87 88 301 RImgBg1Disable Still being corroded by the Punishing Virus, she raises her weapon and uses all of her strength to strike the Ascendant whom she thought was an angel—
