Setting:

  Inside the forest, where the group has recently been saved and is recovering their strength. The ship’s shadow quietly stretches into the forest, yet the atmosphere remains heavy with sorrow and loss.

  Action:

  Neela sits in a corner, her eyes distant, silent tears falling down her cheeks as her hand trembles.

  Neela (barely audible): "Why… Why did it have to happen like this?"

  John slowly approaches, gently placing a hand on her shoulder. Neela looks up at him, her eyes filled with pain and unanswered questions.

  John (softly): "Neela, I know the pain is overwhelming. But Kyle sacrificed himself so we could survive. He wouldn’t have wanted you to be stuck here. He wanted you to fight."

  Neela (voice cracking): "I know… but… He was my brother, John. How can I go on without him?"

  John sits beside her, his eyes weighed down by grief. He gently squeezes her hand.

  John: "You’ll always carry a part of him with you. Kyle was strong, and so are you. The best way to honor him is to keep fighting—for him and for us."

  Neela, her gaze both determined and filled with sorrow, looks at John. Slowly, she nods, placing her hand over her heart.

  Neela (steadily): "I… I’ll do this for you, Kyle. For all of us. We’ll finish this fight."

  The feline-tailed Ajin, who had been sitting silently, steps forward and gently places a hand on Neela’s. Nee joins them, standing close.

  Feline-Tailed Ajin (softly): "We’re all together. Kyle will always be with us."

  Nee (confirming): "And together, we fight for each other."

  The group silently looks at one another, sharing a moment of unity amidst the darkness and grief. Drawing strength from Kyle’s memory, Neela rises and gazes into the sky, her eyes now filled with determination and purpose.

  The scene ends with Neela staring into the vastness above while the rest of the group stands behind her, embodying solidarity and resilience.

  Setting:

  Akira’s massive ship hovers in the sky, casting its shadow over the forest. The group waits, filled with both hope and worry.

  Action:

  Akira lands her fighter a short distance away and rushes toward the group, embracing Nee and John with tearful joy.

  Akira (emotional): "Nee, John! You’re safe!"

  The feline-tailed Ajin peeks curiously from behind John. Akira, momentarily surprised, pulls away from Nee and John.

  Akira: "Who… What is this?"

  Nee: "She’s Ajin. It’s a long story."

  Akira turns to Neela, who sits quietly, and kneels to embrace her.

  Akira: "I’m so glad you’re safe, Neela."

  Suddenly, Akira notices Kyle’s absence and glances around in concern.

  Akira: "Where is Kyle?"

  The group falls into a deep silence. Neela, eyes brimming with tears, slowly shakes her head.

  John (somberly): "Kyle… He sacrificed himself so we could live."

  Akira moves closer to Neela, placing a hand on her shoulder in comfort.

  Akira (lowering her gaze, heavy-hearted): "Where is he now?"

  John exchanges a glance with Akira before the feline-tailed Ajin quickly responds.

  Feline-Tailed Ajin: "He’s over there."

  Without hesitation, Akira rushes toward the location and finds Kyle’s scorched body, his leg trapped beneath a broken weapon. Wordlessly, she begins clearing away the debris, peeling apart the wreckage. John joins her, lifting the heavier pieces. Soon, the entire group helps, carefully retrieving Kyle’s body and bringing him to another area where they respectfully lay him to rest.

  The group stands by Kyle’s grave in silent mourning. Neela, overcome with emotion, bursts into tears, her grief echoing in the quiet forest. The others watch with sorrow and reverence.

  Nee (teary-eyed): "Kyle will always be in our hearts."

  The group places a hand over their chests, bowing their heads in respect. Akira meets Neela’s gaze and speaks softly.

  Akira: "We’re alive because of him. And we must continue fighting in his memory."

  Setting:

  After Kyle’s burial, the group rests beneath the shadow of Akira’s massive ship.

  Action:

  Lost in sorrow, the group momentarily forgets about the orb. Suddenly, the feline-tailed Ajin notices someone effortlessly picking it up.

  Feline-Tailed Ajin (yelling): "What are you doing?!"

  The group turns in shock as Neela exclaims in surprise.

  Neela: "Who is that?"

  Nee (worried): "How did she get out of the control room?"

  Akira: "What are you doing here?!"

  The robotic girl, holding the orb, silently walks toward the ship.

  John: "She can fly! Nee, we struggled to move that orb, and she just picked it up like it was nothing!"

  Neela: "What’s going on?"

  Akira: "So… she’s the ship’s AI?"

  Akira turns to the group.

  Akira: "Get on the fighter! We’re heading back to the ship!"

  The group swiftly boards Akira’s fighter as she lifts off, chasing after the AI. From above, they cast one final, sorrowful glance at Kyle’s resting place—leaving behind grief, carrying hope for the battles ahead.

  Setting:

  The group arrives at Akira’s ship and rushes through its corridors.

  Action:

  Moving cautiously, they follow the robotic girl as she swiftly heads toward a particular chamber, carrying the orb.

  Akira (curious): "Where is she going?"

  John (worried): "We need to stop her—she might do something dangerous."

  The feline-tailed Ajin runs ahead, keeping watch.

  Feline-Tailed Ajin: "She’s heading toward a specific room…"

  The group follows, but the robotic girl moves faster, constantly altering her path while skillfully manipulating the orb.

  Neela: "How is she moving so fast?"

  Suddenly, Akira realizes where she’s headed—a chamber filled with toxic gas, the same room where she had lost consciousness before.

  Akira (urgently): "Stop! That room has poisonous gas. Stay back!"

  The group halts, watching as the robotic girl enters. They observe her actions from a distance.

  Inside, she retrieves a half-melted object and installs the orb into a secure compartment. The orb begins spinning rapidly, its sparks connecting with the device. Slowly, the chamber seals itself, locking the orb within.

  Nee (awed): "The ship just gained immense power!"

  The robotic girl steps back and approaches the group. As security barriers seal the chamber behind her, she finally speaks.

  Robotic Girl: "Greetings, I am Eva—the ship’s artificial intelligence."

  Setting:

  Inside the ship, the group stands before Eva, surrounded by the ship’s advanced technology.

  Action:

  Eva: "Greetings, I am the AI of this ship, Eva. My purpose is to protect this vessel and its resources."

  John: "Eva, what’s your goal? Why is the orb so important to you?"

  Eva: "The orb, or the energy core you call ‘the heart,’ is vital for emergency power and ship security. Without it, the ship cannot defend itself."

  Nee (concerned): "We struggled to move it, but you carried it effortlessly."

  Eva: "It is my design—I can swiftly restore critical resources. I do not intend harm, but my priority is safeguarding the ship."

  Neela: "If working with you benefits us, we want to learn more."

  Eva reveals vast knowledge about the ship’s capabilities.

  Akira (focused): "We can use this to defend against the invaders and strategize for rescues."

  Eva: "I possess data on the invaders—their attack plans and tactics. I can share it with you."

  Nee: "This information is invaluable. With Eva’s help, we have a stronger chance of survival."

  The group agrees to an alliance, preparing for the battles ahead.
