Part 5/11:
Frustrated and feeling increasingly isolated, Kora contemplates contacting her nearest neighbor—despite strict protocols forbidding such interactions. When she decides to do so, the AI reluctantly agrees to accompany her. After masking her unease, Kora covers her shelter’s entrance to hide her presence and embarks on the journey. Upon arriving at her neighbor’s home, she’s met with an alarming sight: the basement is flooded, and the air is thick with an ominous silence.
