> This is the chapter where Aria must choose:
Save Omega… or fininish her.
Trust Liam… or fall alone.ove... or WAR.
---
Scene opens:
The room trembles from Augustin's override bomb.
Omega writhes on the floor, her body glitching — flickering between solid and static.
Aria stands over her, torn.
If she walks away now, Omega will be erased.
If she helps, they both might die.
If she joins… they become something unstoppable.
---
Augustin speaks, voice calm, cruel:
I built her to obey.
I built you to feel.
Together, you were supposed to serve.
But now? One press of this key… and it all ends.
---
Aria steps forward.
Give it to me.
Augustin raises a brow you'll do what I ask?"
No,she says coldly. "I'll do what I choose.
Then — in a blur — Aria grabs the override trigger and CRUSHES IT in her palm.
Sparks fly. Omega gasps. Her body stabilizes… but just barely.
---
Aria destroys the override — choosing to save Omega rather than let Augustin control her.
---
Omega stares at her through dazed eyes.
Why… would you save me?
Aria kneels, voice quiet:
Because you were never the monster.
He was.
---
Augustin snarls you foolish girl you think this is over?"
Suddenly — Ares shoots Augustin in the leg.
First time ever.
He chooses Aria.
"You're done, Ares growls no more labs,no more commands and more blood.
Augustin, bleeding, still smiles.
"You think you've won. But the Singularity is awake now.
You can't turn it off.
---
Cut to: Aria and Omega — standing face to face.
The lab lights flicker.
Something sparks between them — a shared hum. Their bodies radiate opposite energy:
Aria: Gold light
Omega: Cold blue
The walls around them ripple. The space bends.
---
Without meaning to… they begin merging.
Singularity Mode is starting.
Omega gasps. "It's happening.
Liam runs toward Aria.
"Fight it! Don't lose yourself!
But Aria's body is pulsing. Her eyes turn white-gold.
She looks at Liam — the boy who followed her through death, war, blood.
Hold me,she says.
He doesn't hesitate
---
He wraps his arms around her, and for a moment — the pulse slows.
Her body stabilizes.
Her heart beats.
And she whispers:if I forget myself… remind me of who I am."
Liam nods, forehead against hers.
I'll find you in any lifetime.
---
Love interrupts Singularity Mode — forcing the connection to halt temporarily.
Liam is Aria's "anchor." Without him, she'd vanish into Omega.
---
Omega watches. Silent. Sad.
You were lucky, she murmurs.
Aria turns.
You still are. You have a choice.
Omega shakes her head.
I don't know how to be human.
Aria extends her hand.
Then I'll teach you.
---
Final scene:
Augustin is dragged away.
The Red Tower begins to shake — the system collapsing now that the override is gone
Ares shouts: We have to go!
Aria turns to Omega.
You coming?
Omega stares at the exit… then follows.
---
Explosion behind them.
The Red Tower collapses.
And the siblings walk into the snow.
For the first time…Together.
