Synopsis

The chapter begins with Lee Han's squad leader engaging with a member of another squad, showing interest in their strategies. They then arrive in Siniju, the site of a previous invasion, and experience a strange oppressive pressure near a dimensional crack. Meanwhile, Kuro encounters his former sergeant and gets acquainted with the Ark facility, its research on enhanced bodies, and psycho frame technology. The level S characters are being trained and exposed to the realities of their situation as weapons, rather than as people.
