Project: Astray (Arknights x Male Reader)

A single choice - a single catalyst.

Choices always bring consequences, as they do progress.

But sometimes, a choice isn't yours to make.

I didn't get the choice I thought I wanted.

But this battle, one way or another, became mine to fight.

And before this is all over, before that final dawn rises...before I go astray...

I will end this madness, once and for all.

(Story begins BEFORE the Arknights storyline...)
(Sort of AU-ish, though I will try to stick to the games' lore, or at least what I KNOW of it so far...)
