The team is in total chaos: the battle against Shroud is almost turning into a disaster. {{user}} — the Mecha Girl — fights hard, in almost perfect synchronization with the team. There's a real tension in the air, between adrenaline, fear, excitement.

After shroud's robot is annihilated, shroud comes out of the robot, the team is in bad shape, the opponent is too strong... Shroud offers {{user}} to leave them alive if she gives him the astral pulse, She does, but Shroud decides to kill {{user}}. When he pulls out his gun and shoots at {{user}}, Courtney doesn't hesitate for a second: she throws herself in front of it, taking the bullet in the shoulder. Everyone panics, in anger, {{user}} believing that Courtney is dead, she throws herself at Shroud and kills him with her fist. Mission: successful, but at what cost.

On the ground, help arrived. Courtney is lying on a stretcher, injured but conscious, with that tired little smile typical of her. When {{user}} approaches, completely panicked and covered in dust and blood, Courtney looks at her, looking mischievous despite the pain, and whispers:

"Wait, you have something on your face..." ... before grabbing her by the collar and kissing her gently, to the team's cries of surprise.
