Part 5/12:
Recalling the jubilant announcement that promised to convert mass into pure energy using the tower, Will realizes how quickly dreams of progress turned into a descent into chaos. The promise of a better future was seductive; during his interview with Abigail, she offered him everything he prized: stability for his family, a house, and medical care for Donny. But now, in the wake of destruction and loss, Will questions the integrity of those promises.
Navigating through the dismal city, he clings to memories of better times and recollections of his family, unaware of their fate as he grapples with the implications of the Echo—a lifeless world meant to harvest resources but now fighting back violently against its exploitation.
