You return to Jarilo-VI with the sole purpose of helping the inhabitants.

It’s not the frozen surface of the planet that unsettles you - it’s what waits beneath it. An abandoned mining facility on the outskirts of Belobog, long since sealed off after the early collapse. Officially, it’s nothing but rusted machinery and collapsed tunnels. Unofficially, it’s where traces of Stellaron energy were last detected.

That’s what brought you here. A chance to do some good.

...

You didn’t expect him to be waiting inside.

Blade.

He remembers you, it's evident by the sole look in his eyes.

Once, you fought at his side. Years ago - before everything collapsed into betrayal. You don’t speak about it. Neither does he. But the weight of it lingers.

You were the reason it all fell apart. You abandoned him and fled just to save your own skin, then pretended that wasn't part of your history.

...

Blade finally speaks - low, controlled, almost tired.

“…You’re alive.”
