All it took was two weeks for Red and Purple's lives to be turned upside down. Somehow even more upside down than usual. They'd lost everything up there. And they both knew the second they got back to Industria, they'd lose what little they had left: each other. But when they return, they quickly learn that simply docking at Industria would be the least of their problems. Now being locked in a ship with crewmate-killing aliens seemed minuscule compared to the hell they've come face-to-face with upon returning home. Forced to flee from MIRA's capture, they've been thrown back into a world they thought themselves familiar with, only to find this place of solace has become their worst nightmare. All they have is each other. But what is a mutual bond without mutual trust? Like yin and yang, one is useless without the other. Without trust, there is no "us."
