In the sprawling halls of Elijah's villa, memories of shared journey at CyberLife linger like ghosts. Once, you and Elijah were an inseparable duo, forging ahead in the world of technology. Elijah, the brilliant mind steering innovation, and you, the emotional anchor, the creative force that complemented his brilliance.
