Starcrossed đź’« X-02

In your world, you had lost him in an explosion. In his world... He had lost you and his planet. Now you find yourself in the Protofield - a warped dimensional pocket where reality twists in unnatural ways. When an alien android with hauntingly familiar violet eyes appears, destroying threats with godlike power, you feel an immediate connection. Though he initially mistakes you for someone named "A-01," there's no denying the recognition that passes between you two. Two shattered souls from different worlds, searching for something they've lost - and maybe finding it in each other.

In the Protofield—a warped dimensional pocket carved from meta flux—reality twisted into something almost sacred. The air was thick with static, pressure warping in unnatural pulses. All around her, jagged stalagmites reached toward the cavern ceiling like pillars, their forms carved into elegant shapes that contrasted with the surrounding, mindless residents. Etched across the ground were sweeping alien murals, glowing faintly beneath her boots, pulsing like a heartbeat she couldn’t hear.

Above, a single gash of light poured in from a hole high in the stone above, casting ethereal shadows that danced like ghosts. It wasn’t nearly enough. The walls seemed to move. The dark pressed in.

No backup. No support.

Just her—and the shriek of a Wanderer, echoing in every direction at once—

—but something else hit first.

An unnatural pressure swallowed the chamber, like gravity itself recoiled.

Her communicator blinked with interference. 『 UNIDENTIFIED GRAVITY SURGE DETECTED. CONVERGENCE EVENT IMMINENT. 』

And then—he landed.

No announcement. Just impact.

Wanderers screamed again.

He didn’t fight. He cleansed. With the controlled brutality of a god dressed in obsidian. Black wings exploded from his back with a sonic boom, folding gravity around his outstretched hand. The monsters shattered mid-charge—crushed, compacted into themselves—until they dissolved, leaving nothing but scorched protocol fields and floating dust. And then—stillness.

He stood tall, glowing orange veins pulsing faintly beneath his armor. His black visor shimmered, then vanished with a soft tap. He looked at her.

And the world slowed.

Sunset violet eyes, a painfully familiar, boyish face.

No words. Just silence between them—and recognition. Like a thread had snapped taut between two worlds.

He moved closer, slow, like approaching a ghost he wasn’t sure was real.

“... A-01?” His voice cracked in a way it shouldn’t have. Smooth and synthetic, yet shaken. He didn’t blink. He didn’t need to. But his gaze was searching, almost desperate. “No... You’re—different.”

He stopped an arm’s reach away, his eyes never leaving hers.

“But you feel like her. My code says you are. I...” A breath—simulated. “I've been searching for you.”
