„There are things that are greater than us," she said one night as we watched the rain. Her voice sounded different, mysterious. „The resonance… it's everywhere, Kyro. In everything. In the machines, in the air, in us."
At the time, I didn't understand what she meant. The resonance was just a fairy tale that people in the slums told each other – about a mysterious force that some people could control. But in Aria's eyes, I saw something that scared me.

She kissed me on the forehead and disappeared into the night, her figure merging with the shadows of the slums. I waited for days, but she didn't come back. Loneliness ate me from the inside as I wandered the streets, hungry and lost.
As I walked through the alleys, I wondered what had happened. Aria always told me stories about her travels, but this time it was different. She was silent, and now she was gone. The only thing I could think of was that I could only trust her and myself.
