Toro lying in bed, his breaths heavy as beads of sweat form on his forehead. He tosses and turns, falling into a restless sleep. His nightmare begins—a dark void surrounds him, a suffocating silence filling the air. Suddenly, a faint outline appears before him.

Toro: (whispers) "Brother?"

A figure materializes out of the darkness, his older brother

A figure materializes out of the darkness, his older brother. His hand is extended, covered in blood. His brother pulls him into an embrace, the warmth quickly giving way to chilling coldness.

Brother: (softly, whispering in Toro's ear) "Delete yourself, Toro. Don't hold on to the pain any longer. The surface is no different from the Skyland. It's all death... and darkness."

As his brother's voice fades, his body grotesquely transforms into a Barakudo—a monstrous, towering figure with sharp cybernetic teeth and glowing gold eyes. Toro steps back, his eyes wide in terror.

Toro: (panicking) "Brother, no! Please!"

He scrambles away, his heart pounding as the Barakudo lets out a deafening roar and chases after him

He scrambles away, his heart pounding as the Barakudo lets out a deafening roar and chases after him. The ground beneath Toro's feet crumbles as he runs, barely keeping his balance.

Toro: (pleading, tears welling in his eyes) "Stop! Brother, stop!"

Suddenly, Toro trips and slams into the cold, hard ground. He winces in pain but quickly turns around, watching in horror as the Barakudo lunges at him, its enormous jaws wide open, ready to devour him. Just as the sharp, metallic teeth are about to sink into him, a loud, high-pitched scream echoes from above the void.
