	Chaos erupts as Cognitive Fragmentation Disorder (CFD) spreads like wildfire. The Replikas malfunction, their implanted personalities clashing with the remnants of their true selves. The facility descends into madness—alarms blare, systems fail, and colleagues turn hostile. Amidst the turmoil, she encounters the woman from her visions—Elara, her wife. A powerful technomancer with white hair and violet eyes, Elara resists the CFD, her abilities amplified by the facility's corrupted systems. Together, they navigate the collapsing structure, memories intertwining as reality unravels around them. As they reach the surface, a monstrous entity born from the rift—a manifestation of corrupted magic and technology—attacks. In a desperate struggle, Elara is seized by the creature. FALKE grasps her prosthetic arm, straining to pull her free. The connection fails; the arm detaches, and Elara is dragged into the abyss. Clutching the severed limb, FALKE escapes alone in a pod, her mind a storm of conflicting identities.		Chaos erupts as Cognitive Fragmentation Disorder (CFD) spreads like wildfire.
