Kcanthers Begins - Chapter 1 - Once Upon a Time - Part 6

Chaos and Anger Suddenly, the alarms ring out, shattering the silence of the laboratory. Panic grips the engineers who rush in, overwhelmed by the situation. Upon their arrival, they are met with a devastating sight: melted cables, burnt components, charred computers — and at the center of this chaos, Ino stands motionless and intact, surrounded by the destruction.

While some desperately try to control the flames and contain the damage, a technician, already on edge, notices a coffee mug left on a table. Overwhelmed by frustration and frayed nerves, he grabs it abruptly. Without thinking, he lashes out, accusing Ino of being the cause of the disaster. In a sudden act of anger, he throws the coffee at the entity. The liquid runs down its metallic face, seeping into its circuits — like tears escaping from its synthetic eyes. The atmosphere, heavy with tension, marks a decisive turning point.
