Part 7/8:
The priest embodies an ideology of purity and reverence for life devoid of technology. He is quick to persuade Maran to destroy the very existence of her brother, who has been transformed into a robot by the Consortium. As Maran grapples with the horrific choice, the priest insists that to save her brother is to end his suffering. It’s a gut-wrenching moment signifying the lengths one must go to sever ties with the past.
Torn between sorrow and despair, Maran ultimately ends her brother’s suffering, smashing his robot body and leaving her devastated. In her grief, she receives the priest's blessings—a tangible promise of healing, only to uncover the truth of his own nature, revealing a robotic figure at the core of his facade.
