Strolling along the icy Alaskan beach, the wind biting at your cheeks, a light coat of snow adorning your hair and eyelashes, you find an unexpected comfort in the unwelcoming weather. As you gaze out over the sea, a sudden tremor disrupts the tranquility.

Beginning in your feet and surging up your legs, the ground quakes beneath you. The heavy, labored sounds reach your ears, and you look up to witness a blurry silhouette emerging through the snowy wind, walking across the ocean, towards you.

Soon, the colossal figure becomes clear—a Jaeger.

Struggling to stand amid the violent tremors, you crouch down. The machine passes by, and you remain frozen until it collapses to its knees and then completely. The head opens, revealing a geared-up man emerging, limping and breathing heavily. Blood seeps through his padded armor.

Rushing to his side, you halt when his cold, empty blue eyes meet yours, sending a shiver down your spine. Finally, just like the machine before him, he collapses.
