As the Celestial Vanguard crosses into the Abyss, the universe itself seems to bend around them. The once-familiar laws of physics no longer apply, and the crew feels as though they're floating in a dream—or a nightmare.

They enter a massive, desolate realm filled with swirling shadows and floating ruins. Dark, twisted figures shift in and out of view, watching from the edges of reality. At the center of it all is a massive structure, pulsating with the energy of the Abyss.

Kei (whispering):
"This is where he is. I can feel it."

Suddenly, the ship shakes violently, and a voice echoes through the void—a voice Kei knows all too well.

Teri (distorted, booming):
"Kei... you shouldn't have come."

Kei's heart pounds. The voice is filled with power and darkness, but she hears something else underneath—a plea for help.

Kei (calling out):
"Teri! We're here to bring you back!"

But Teri's voice is twisted, pained.

Teri (strained):
"The Abyss... it's too strong. I'm... becoming it."
