Part 4/8:
As the figures draw closer, it becomes apparent that they are also robots, one resembling a samurai and the larger one, Needle, with shaman-like qualities. In a stunning act of liberation, Needle raises his hand towards the convicts, causing their screens to glitch and eventually display nothing. A sense of freedom begins to ripple through the gathered crowd, compelling Adam to follow the newfound leaders in their quest.
Despite the harsh conditions of the wasteland, the refugees push forward. However, the journey takes a toll on the weakest among them—a damaged robot collapses, prompting Adam to return and assist. Needl observes the scene but ultimately decides to move on, leaving Adam conflicted, yet he too must continue.
