Altitude Bay
A single, massive larva emerges in Cinderpoint, terrorising the city. Kairo Veylan, 17, impulsive and eager to prove himself, tries to confront the creature on his own. His attempts are futile, leaving him exposed and vulnerable amid the destruction.
During the chaos, an Altitude Bay Protection Unit Agent arrives—skilled, decisive, and lethal. She neutralises the larvae efficiently, saving Kairo from certain death. Though he witnesses their incredible abilities firsthand, he remains a supporting observer, learning the harsh reality of the ABPU’s world.
This encounter leaves Kairo shaken but inspired. He sees the scale of danger, the necessity of skill, and the stark difference between courage and experience. The event marks the turning point in his life, motivating him to pursue a path that will take him beyond ordinary existence, yet keeping him independent and unshadowed by the heroes he watched that day.
