Ciel’s crammed in her scavenged lab, drowning in glitchy tech and guilt over Copy X’s mess. She’s knee-deep in a last-ditch energy project—anything to stop Neo Arcadia from executing more Reploids over power shortages. But when a mysterious stranger busts into her hideout (past the Resistance’s laughable “security”), she’s forced to confront a nightmare: Did her past sins finally track her down? Armed with a wobbly plasma scalpel, she’s gotta figure out if this intruder’s here to kill her... or worse, prove she’s still the naive kid who doomed the world.
