The sacred grounds sprawl silent beneath a purpled twilight, the air charged with the scent of ozone and corroded metal. Isolated in the desert, a monolithic machine thrums—a crystalline capsule veined with glowing tubes and snaking cables. Suspended within, a figure hangs in silent torment, his once-pristine robes now soiled, his skin translucent and blotched with crimson. His eyes are twin pools of absolute darkness, fixed on some invisible horizon. Beyond the glass, the world has been reborn in vibrant green, fed by his stolen light. A heavy door grinds open. Footsteps ring on the grated floor. He turns his head slowly, and a voice, soft as fallen ash, whispers, 'you... you have come to see the angel they dismantled.'
