    Summary

    In the fragile aftermath of the Battle of Shroud, the literal and emotional armor finally comes off, leaving Robert and Chad to navigate a new landscape of vulnerability and unspoken truths.

    Intimidated by the prospect, Robert steps into a sleek corporate promotion, which he attempts to use as a shield to isolate himself and keep Chad's fire at a safe distance. However, the pressure of the impending re-launch of the Mecha Man unit makes Robert’s stress reach a boiling point, fracturing his control. What begins as a desperate, high-friction attempt to use a single night of physical release to burn Chad out of his system instead traps them both in a web of missed connections and mounting, unreciprocated feelings.
