[Location: Earth's Upper Atmosphere – Seraph Frame Descent Path]
The sky cracked open.
Not literally, but it felt like the world's veil was torn. As if something divine, unwanted, and deeply wrong had begun falling into the world.
The Seraph Frame was descending.
Not a ship. Not a god.
It was a concept given form—a holy weapon made by the Architects to restore "purity" by rewriting memory and resetting the world.
Its body was elegant: a humanoid figure made of golden lattice, twenty stories tall, with six radiant wings that constantly shed fragments of broken code.

[Objective: Global Memory Collapse – 99.97% reset]
[Time to Full Deployment: 2 hours, 49 minutes]

[Jin-Soo's Side – Memory Resistance Activated]
Jin-Soo stood atop the shattered cliff of the Garden of Frozen Thought, wind rushing around him, lightless and heavy.
His memories floated behind him now—each a glowing shard.
One showed his sister brushing dust from his jacket.
Another, the healer girl who used to scold him for coming back wounded.
Another still, the moment Yuna grabbed his hand and whispered, "I'm not leaving you."
They spun around him like protective sentinels.
His system spoke:
> [Reality Signature Engaged]
[You may now use your memories as Truth-Shards to repel false system injections.]
> [Truth-Shard 01 Activated: "Ji-Eun's Smile"]
[Effect: Area Immunity – Targeted memories cannot be overwritten.]

[Across the World – Memory Fights Back]
The Seraph Frame began its work.
Beams of golden light shot toward the Earth, targeting memory nodes.
But something unexpected happened.
People—ordinary people—started resisting.
A grandmother in Busan gripped her husband's photograph and refused to forget him.
> "No. He was real. You can't take him."
A blind man in New Delhi remembered the sound of his daughter's laughter and locked it inside his soul.
A child in Tokyo drew a picture of a boy with red eyes and wrote, "He told me to never forget."
And all over the world, millions of minds glitched—refused to obey.

[Seraph Frame's Avatar Descends]
In a flash of divine static, a humanoid form emerged near the cliff.
Tall. Radiant. Empty-eyed.
> "Jin-Soo," it said in a voice that echoed in the bones of the Earth.
"You carry error. Your continued existence equals collapse."
Jin-Soo didn't step back.
He raised one memory shard:
> [Truth-Shard 03: "Betrayed but breathing"]
[Effect: Converts pain into strength multiplier – x4 Boost]
His body surged with raw will.
> "You call it error," he said coldly.
"I call it being alive."

[First Strike – Memory Clash Begins]
The Seraph Avatar raised its arm and fired a beam of purity—an attempt to overwrite Jin-Soo's consciousness with blank peace.
Jin-Soo countered by throwing a memory.
Literally.
A fragment of his worst day: when the hunters abandoned him.
The memory sliced through the beam, cracking the logic in midair.
The ground exploded with static fire—white code vs living truth.
Yuna raised her hand behind him, creating a field of echo:
> "Everyone, remember!" she cried aloud.
> "Remember anything that makes you real!"
Her words resonated.
---
[Global Response – The Pulse of Resistance]
People began sharing memories out loud:
First kisses.
Last words.
Names of the dead.
Voices long lost.
Songs their mothers used to hum.
All these became anchor points, blinding the Seraph Frame's vision.
Across the world, its code was disintegrating under pressure from human emotion.
---
[Kael's Countermove – The Forbidden Truth]
Kael stepped forward and whispered a phrase in a tongue even the Architects had buried.
The sky above twisted.
A forgotten law slammed into the Seraph Frame's upper body.
> [UNAUTHORIZED MEMORY TYPE: Pre-System Era Detected]
[Memory cannot be parsed.]
[Error. Error. Error.]
The Frame staggered.
For the first time… it screamed.
---
[Final Clash – Jin-Soo's Core Memory]
Jin-Soo knew what had to be done.
He closed his eyes.
And drew his first memory—
Not of pain.
But of hope.
A three-year-old boy's voice, lost in a dark alley, whispering:
> "I want to go home…"
He threw it like a blade.
The shard pierced the Seraph Avatar's chest.
And exploded.
---
[Seraph Frame Critical]
> [Structural Integrity: 24%]
[System Collapse Imminent]
[Architect Emergency Response Required]
The skies turned dark.
Not from clouds.
But because the Architects themselves were descending.

[Final Scene – Supreme Architect Speaks]
Somewhere above time, watching, the Supreme Architect leaned forward.
His voice boomed across unseen dimensions:
> "So this is how it ends…"
> "A forgotten boy…
Using grief as a sword.
We made a mistake.
Now he will become the thing we cannot control."
