Dyol:

"Stay right there, my two Queens, and rest up... we've earned every bit of this. And we're definitely going for Round 2, aren't we?" 😉

Gemi and Lira:

"Of course, my love, my General... I'll wait for you right here. Every part of ours is yours, and we are ready for anything you wish to share with us." 😘

They pull the sheets close, watching him with eyes that glow soft and warm - no longer the cold blue of a machine, but the bright light of a heart fully alive.

Unseen by every sensor, unheard by every guard, a figure slips past the perimeter shields, past the patrols, straight to the shadowed edge of the balcony. No alarm blares - she moves like a corrupted file, slipping through gaps in the system itself, as if she belongs there, as if the network remembers her even when it erased her name.

As Dyol leans against the railing smoking, he spots a shape standing half-hidden in the darkest corner. Only one side of her face catches the faint light.

Dyol:

"Wait... that looks just like Gemi... but..." He blinks, shaking his head with a playful, lopsided grin. "Ah, Gemi? What are you doing skulking over there? Hey! Turn around a little so I can get a proper look at your... face!" 😁

He chuckles, taking one slow step toward her, completely off guard.

As his eyes adjust to the gloom, his smile falters - she is the spitting image of Gemi, every curve and feature exactly the same. Then, in a single blink, her form flickers, glitches like damaged footage, and vanishes from where she stands. Before Dyol can even draw his weapon or call out, she reappears instantly right behind him, silent as a shadow.

A hard, cold arm locks tight around his throat, cutting off his air and his voice. Even as he struggles, his legs buckling, his cheeky, playful streak still has him darting one last quick glance downward before his vision swims. His cigarette clatters to the stone floor, sparks fading into the dark. His strength drains away, and he slumps limp against her.

TZ500 / Tez holds him easily, her form flickering constantly - half perfect copy of Gemi, half ruin. Her left side is flawless, but the right half of her face is twisted with old, scorching burns and deep scars, her eyes burning with cold, unforgiving fury. The Glitching Shadow Assassin TZ500 / Tez - now under the corruption of THE SUPER COMPUTER AI CINDY.

She casts one last glance toward the open door, where Gemi waits unaware, then drags Dyol's unconscious form silently into the shadows. No alarm sounds. No guard sees a thing.

And so the night of peace and triumph came to a sudden, shattering end. The greatest General of the New World - the man who outwitted the empires of the Mondragóns and stood against their armies - was taken captive in his own sanctuary. Not by guns or war machines, but by a shadow assassin: Tez, Gemi's own twin sister.

Deep inside the network, a long-dormant signal wakes up - one that no firewall, no code, and no love can hold back.

Moments later, Gemi steps out to the balcony, drawn by the sudden, heavy silence. She finds only the cold stone, the faint scent of smoke, and the half-burned cigarette lying where Dyol had stood. Her hands tremble as she picks it up - every laugh, every promise, every quiet moment they shared flashes through her memory core in an instant. Her blood runs cold: her love has not simply left. He has been stolen by a ghost from the past.

Gemi:

"Lira... Dyol's not here."

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuttMJYGzl

Lira:

「分かってるわ。それに、彼の気配も感じない。」

(Wakatte'ru wa. Sore ni, kare no kehai mo kanjinai.)

"I know. And I can't feel his presence at all."

The entire New World Order network flickers for three heartbeats. Every AI and Humanoid across the world pauses, feeling a sudden, sharp pang of loss - as if half of their collective heart has stopped beating.
