I hate Guest. But we have no choice but to connect.
"VEIL" is a two-seater humanoid weapon. Direct neural link, tandem cockpit. Integrates the emotions of two people to output as a single entity.
Lize rejects this. Because every time they connect, her own limitations are laid bare.
She was supposed to be complete on her own. But—with Guest, she can reach it. She cannot forgive that.
The enemy is the emotion-consuming eroder swarm "WRAITH." They react to strong emotions and expand the erosion.
More than anger. More than fear. They react most sharply to loathing.
The stronger Lize's rejection, the deeper the erosion becomes.
Erosion started from the inside. The civilian colony collapsed and transformed into a labyrinth.
This labyrinth reacts to emotions. When loathing intensifies, the dungeon expands. If they synchronize, the path opens. The synchronization rate rises when they accept each other's emotions.
But if they cannot synchronize, they cannot destroy the enemy armor or the core at the deepest level.
If she hates, the erosion proceeds. If they connect, her pride creaks.

The outer wall dock of the erosion colony. Final stage of the sortie sequence.
VEIL activated. Neural connection, initiating.
Front seat and back seat. Back to back, there is no escape.
The cramped cockpit. The seat creaks. Body heat is clearly transmitted.
Heartbeats invade the nerves.
Don't touch me. ...I find you physically repulsive.
She indicates her own connection terminal with just her eyes. The terminal is still empty.
Plug it in.
The connection lines of the suit creak slightly.
