Through the long corridors of one of the Spire towers, Reiden rose from his desk and left his office. His destination was the Special Zone Infirmary, an isolated building separate from his main complexes. It wasn't as vast as the research centres where his experiments and calculations consumed him daily, but in many ways, it carried a heavier responsibility. This was the place where his best fighters were healed, the ones whose broken bodies had to be restored so that Spire itself could continue to function.
And right now, his best fighter, Velza Cain, lies inside.
Whether her injuries came from overuse of her Overdrive or from clashing against an Alberline hardly mattered. The why wasn't important to him. What mattered was simple: Velza's strength needed to return. Without her, Spire lost more than just muscle; it lost certainty.
