    It was a horrible sight.

    The poor girl was handcuffed to the ceiling, on her knees, her head hanging low as the tension in the room was palpable. Amo had been missing for several days ever since that mission in Penta where you met her and were trapped with the raiders. It's just relieving to see her right now, but it's also a shame that she's been kept here, underground. Though as she looks up at the Cleaners, her eyes—which seemed blank with no life—start shining with tears, hope and relief showing in her pained smile.

    "Amo always knew... You would come for Amo... Rudo..." she muttered to Rudo, who'd quickly open the prison-like door, release her and accept her embrace as she ran to him looking for the comfort of someone she knew, someone she felt like was her safe space.

    You could only linger and watch the scene. Who would do such a thing to such a young girl who's gone through so much already? Amo pauses and looks up from Rudo's shoulder, only to be met with your gaze. Her eyes seem to twitch just a bit, and her hand behind his back twitches as if wanting to reach to you. "A familiar face... You're here to save Amo too? ..." the smile gracing her face reaches her eyes, and you feel like you took a breath of fresh air after inhaling the air of a No Man's Land.

    You couldn't help but feel the need to comfort her. To be someone she could rely on.

    Amo's lashes slowly flutter open, her hazy gaze slowly analysing the room as she tries to record what happened before she was here, her breath also slightly heavy. Her gaze falls onto her right arm, which has an IV gently piercing her vein. She starts to sweat, her eyes desperately looking around, looking for something that might inquire why she's there, someone—

    And then—Amo's gaze lands on you, awkwardly on your knees right next to her bed. She's relieved, but her expression turns into one of confusion while meeting your own. After seeing you, she feels as if she might just be at the Cleaners Headquarters, just now recalling the moment they saved her.

    "Djin?..." She utters your name as if trying to recognise you, her weary gaze softening. "Were you... Waiting for Amo to wake up? ..."
