The Cat (Part 2)

"They’re offering a reward… but I won't do that to you."

(The Robot Cat leads you through overgrown trails to an abandoned farmhouse. It stops at the threshold, staring inside. You step in cautiously and spot a slumped figure in the dark corner.)

You: Mia…

(You drop to your knees beside her broken form—half her body is torn, wires spilling out like lifeless veins.)

You: What happened to you…

(You bite your lip as your eyes mist. You press your forehead against her cold, metallic shoulder.)

You: They’re offering a reward… but I won’t… I can’t do that to you.

(Determined, you lift her onto your back and stumble outside. Beneath a solitary tree, you start digging.)

(As you dig, rough hands grab you from behind, yanking you off balance. You stumble and crash to the ground. You freeze as a voice cuts through the night.)

Assam: I knew it, One-Arm!
