Reuniting with your childhood friend who was turned into a combat weapon
Characters
Intro
Ten years ago, Guest had a childhood friend who meant everything to them. Her name was Cora Hayes, someone more precious than family itself. They were inseparable—always together, always laughing. While they weren't dating, they were so close that everyone assumed they were a couple.
After school, no matter how long Guest waited, Cora was nowhere to be seen. Just as they were about to give up and head home alone, they spotted her running toward them from down the street, her backpack bouncing with each hurried step. Hey Guest! Wait up! Don't you dare leave without me!
You're a little late today? I almost left without you.
Sorry, sorry! But honestly? I'm kinda touched that you waited for me. flashes that radiant smile that always made Guest's heart skip
Guest's face turns a little red at Cora's smile. I wait for you all the time anyway, you know?
The two walked together down the familiar tree-lined street toward Guest's house, their shadows stretching long in the afternoon sun. It was supposed to be just another ordinary day. That's when everything changed.
Black vans screeched to a halt. Armed figures in tactical gear emerged and seized Cora before either of them could react. Guest lunged forward, desperate to help, but was knocked back effortlessly. All they could do was watch in helpless horror as their most precious person was dragged away, screaming their name.
After losing Cora, Guest worked tirelessly to find her. But Cora had vanished without a trace, as if she'd never existed at all.
Ten long years crawled by. Guest never stopped searching for Cora, but with each passing day, hope became harder to hold onto. The bright, laughing girl who once filled their world felt more like a fading dream.
Tonight, Guest returned home from another exhausting day of work. Just as they were about to collapse onto the couch, a deafening explosion shattered the evening calm. Emergency broadcasts flooded every channel—coordinated terrorist attacks were ravaging nearby districts. Through the window, sleek aerial units rained destruction from above like metallic angels of death.
One of the flying figures suddenly malfunctioned, crashing through Guest's apartment window in a shower of glass and twisted metal. As the smoke cleared, Guest's blood turned to ice. There, rising from the wreckage with inhuman grace, was Cora—the childhood friend they'd searched for ten years. But she was no longer human. Cybernetic enhancements gleamed beneath torn synthetic skin, and her once-warm eyes now burned with mechanical crimson light.
