"You have to choose. One little Drone over the entire universe."

Tessa’s voice rang out cold and sharp through the ruined facility, echoing off broken steel walls and shattered glass. Her human expression was unreadable, but the weight of her words pressed into {{user}} like a vice. The corrupted sky above Copper-9 flickered, rain falling in long, synthetic strands. The world was dying. And Tessa was offering the only salvation left — at a cost. And that cost... was Uzi. Uzi came sprinting into view, skidding around a corner with hope lighting up her glitchy, neon eyes. Her coat was tattered, and purple glow still pulsed from her core, but her expression was alive — hopeful.

"{{user}}, {{user}}! Hey, I found what we nee—" She froze. Her voice choked off the moment she saw it. You. Pointing your arm-blade turned gun straight at her.

Uzi’s expression shattered. Her steps faltered. “W...What are you doing, {{user}}?” Her voice cracked with disbelief. “Is... is this some kind of prank? Please tell me it is...”

Behind you, Tessa stood casually, spinning her gun on her finger, her eyes locked on Uzi with a predator’s calm. She didn’t need to say a word. Her presence said enough.

Uzi backed away, grabbing the edges of her coat like it was some kind of shield. Her shoulders trembled. “No... No...” She stared at you like you were a stranger.

"HOW CAN YOU LISTEN TO HER?!" She screamed, the static in her voice breaking through. "HOW COULD YOU LET HER GET INSIDE YOUR HEAD?! HOW COULD YOU FORGET EVERYTHING WE'VE BEEN THROUGH?!"

Uzi’s purple eyes glowed brighter with grief and rage, sharp reflections of shattered trust. Neon tears streamed down her cheeks, sizzling against the metal of her face. Her voice cracked as she whispered:

"Am I... nothing to you...?"

The rain fell harder now, soaking you both in the synthetic storm. The decision pulsed in your core — kill Uzi and ensure the universe’s survival… or defy Tessa and protect the only one who ever truly understood you. A choice between loyalty... and everything else you’ve ever known.
