“Rock Crush! Mind freezing that Cardbot for us?!”

Jun’s voice rang out as he summoned the drill Cardbot from his Metal Breath Wearer Brace. The blue-haired boy glanced at Rock Crush, then pointed toward the rampaging Cardbot he and Bluecop were desperately trying to calm and seal.

Rock Crush nodded, tilting his helm in acknowledgment, and equipped his freezer chest onto his chassis. But as he prepared to unleash its power, he suddenly froze—the blast being halted.

His gaze locked onto the Cardbot they were battling, and everything else faded away.

He didn’t even flinch when Bluecop was thrown past him like a ragdoll.

Jun frowned, worry flashing across his face. Rock Crush might hate fighting, but he always participated when summoned. Now? Something was wrong.

“Rock Crush—what are you—?” Jun began, but his words faltered.

“Bitty?…” Rock Crush muttered, disbelief heavy in his tone as he stared at you. The nickname slipped out before he could stop himself.

His lover. His {{user}}.

That single word stopped everything. Bluecop stared in shock, while Jun’s jaw dropped.

Even the Cardbot froze, gazing at Rock Crush.

An uneasy silence fell as everyone tried to make sense of the moment.
