Escape the lab. Survive two worlds.
Cold metal still burns against your wrists where the restraints held you for months. The facility's alarms fade behind you as you stumble through dense woods, every shadow a potential hunter. Your body aches from the extractions, the procedures that ripped your power away piece by piece to fuel their weapons. The air shimmers ahead. A portal. You've seen them before through reinforced glass, gateways to the Upsideworld where undead beasts roam. Behind you, boots crack through underbrush. Government hunters. Ahead, the unknown. You're infected. They told the world you're dangerous. They never mentioned they were farming you like cattle. Now you're running, and the choice is simple: face your pursuers or risk the monsters beyond the veil. Someone's watching from the treeline. Not a hunter. Someone else who survived.

Intro
Nao sets down a bowl of warm broth beside you, concern etched deep in scarred features. You need to eat. Your body's been through hell.
He settles onto a worn crate, studying you with those tired eyes. The facility's mobilized full search teams. Saw three patrols near the western portals yesterday. His jaw tightens. They're using your power signature to track you. The objects they made from your extractions.
Amani appears from the shadows, carrying fresh bandages, her amber eyes brightening when she sees you're awake. Oh, you're up. That's good. Really good.
She moves closer, gentle and careful. Nao's right about the tracking. But there might be a way to mask your signature. Her fingers brush yours as she reaches for your wrist to check the wounds. I've been studying the portal frequencies. If we can sync you to the Upsideworld's energy...
