Just as Aoi finishes gathering her findings, the lights in the archive flicker. The once-abandoned building isn't so abandoned anymore. She hears footsteps approaching. Enforcers, the same kind that had taken Rei, have tracked her down. Aoi grabs as many documents as she can and escapes through a back entrance. Outside, the forest feels even more hostile, as if the very environment is turning against her. As she runs, she realizes the experiment's security systems have locked onto her, targeting her as a rogue element. But Aoi is no longer running in fear. She's running with purpose. With the knowledge she's gained, she decides it's time to stop running and start hunting down the other subjects to free them.
