*Location: Tōhoku (東北) Japan, north of Tokyo - Restricted Zone*

GSX sat still, cloaked in the Transcendence Veil—its fibers humming with ancient tech and ghost frequencies. His breathing slowed. His vision expanded.

"who is she..." he whispered. The veil flickered with white-blue pulses as a glowing silhouette soared above the valley.

She couldn’t see him. But he could feel everything. The closer CHANI flew toward the mountain, the higher the tides crashed behind her. “Why do my powers... grow around this mountain?” she thought, eyes wide with cosmic pressure.

In her core, she felt it — the souls of the forgotten channeling through her spine like a storm of stardust. “I feel all the power from every single soul... and like a magnet… I’m pulling something.”

Tokyo’s last artifact… The ultimate boots — carved from starlight and cyber-rage — were on their way. “I must protect these shoes at all cost when they reach me,” she swore.
