Passing by Rose, who was severely injured from a high-altitude fall and crawled on the ground, Bai E controlled the mech to gently squat down. With two large fingers, he carefully lifted her up from the ground and placed her back in the cockpit, which was battered and exposed to the elements, before he went to pick up the final fragment that had originally belonged to the W0721 mech but now was needed by himself.
The engraving on the right shoulder of the mech—W0721.
A ship called Theseus was nearly replaced in every component during its years of service. Could this entirely new ship still be called the Ship of Theseus?
The same could be said for the mech.
Every time it was heavily damaged, it needed a large amount of new material to replace and fill in.
So how should a mech that had been endowed with a mech spirit lock onto its proper place?
W0721 had no mech spirit.
But a link existed between W0721 and Bai E.
Bai E had always been curious about how this linkage should work.
