"Well, we just went to 14th Street to get some takeout... no, we discovered something while we were patrolling 14th Street."
The younger brother explained, "It seems to be related to Night City. We don't know what to do. Why don't you go and take a look yourself, Big Sister?"
"……OK."
Lin Yue was also looking for something to distract herself, and the matter concerning Night City was equally important.
But when she arrived at the location, what she saw made her freeze in shock.
A girl, disheveled, was leaning against the ruins, unconscious.
Her body, which had undergone extensive mechanical modifications, was now covered with mottled scars, and what seeped out was not blood, but machine oil and electrical sparks.
But that's not the most important thing.

How could we possibly sit idly by and do nothing?
"...Let's take her back to camp first."
So, after thinking it over, she made this decision: "Then get a doctor and a mechanic...we must save her."
But this inadvertently brought back the emotions that had just been suppressed.
