   Summary

   Cracks begin to form, not only on his mech, but also in his concentration. Focus, Robert, focus. You've waited years for this. He reverts his attention to Shroud, who, through his damaged mask, seems to be now smiling at him. Mecha Man stands, preparing to strike when..
   “Robbo! Look out!” a male voice shouts from below.
   OR
   After Shroud is presumed dead in their final battle, Robert wakes from a coma and is sure that Shroud is alive. And more worryingly, he will do almost anything to prove to himself that he is right, even if it means putting himself in immense danger and pushing away the people closest to him.
