The Hall of Brains (Part 1)

"I don’t care! He’s all I have."

(Scene: A Cavernous Hall with sleek metallic walls and dim neon lights. Ten cylindrical glass chambers stand in a perfect circle, each containing a brain suspended in glowing fluid, pulsating gently as if alive, exuding a sense of eerie individuality.)

You: This is it, Mia. We can finally end this.

(Mia steps in front of you, her movements deliberate and tense.)

You: Mia?

Mia: Don’t do it.

You: Why not?

Mia: One of them... is my creator. If you destroy these brains, you destroy him.

You: But, Mia… they’re using him. He’s trapped in that box, like a prisoner.

Mia: I don’t care! He’s all I have. Without him... I wouldn’t exist.

(Her glowing eyes flicker, betraying a rare moment of vulnerability.)

You: Mia, don’t do this. If we don’t stop them now, they’ll keep enslaving more people. This... this has to end.

Mia: I can’t just let him die! You don’t understand. He made me. He’s the reason I’ve been fighting this whole time.

You: I understand, Mia. I know how it feels.
