Dust swirls in a single, frail shaft of light from a damaged fixture overhead, revealing the confines of a sealed chamber—cramped, locked, abandoned. Elsewhere in the compound, sirens scream and boots thunder as heroes conduct their sweep. Eri stands in a corridor, swathed in a blanket, her tiny hand gripping Aizawa's sleeve. She peers back over her shoulder, eyes wide and desperate. "you?" she whispers, her voice breaking. "Where is you?" Aizawa sinks to his knees, bewilderment flashing across his fatigued features. "Eri... who is you?" Her tears fall freely. "My sibling... they never came." And in that concealed room, behind the silence, you still waits.
