Side Story: Whispers of the Past

Echo moved slowly through the dark corridors of Klinik-13, long before he met Kelvin and the rest of the group.

At that time, he was alone, desperately searching to find the lost voices haunting his mind.

He had been wandering for months in the forbidden depths of the clinic, where the walls whispered secrets and the Shadows were more present than ever.

One evening, he heard a different whisper, a faint and distant call.

A voice he thought was lost.

— "Help me..."

Guided by this whisper, Echo followed a series of hidden passages, forgotten staircases, and doors sealed long ago.

At the end of the path, he found a secret room, illuminated by a faint violet glow.

Inside, an old recorder sat on a dusty table.

A soft, almost ethereal voice sounded.

— "If you hear me, know that I am trapped here... the heart of Klinik-13 holds a secret they want to keep hidden."

This voice belonged to an old patient named Mira, whose body had disappeared years ago.

Echo understood that Mira had become a wandering Shadow, a fragment imprisoned in her own memory.

He then decided to attempt the impossible:

to free Mira from her mental prison.

This quest led him to dive into the very heart of the Shadow network weaving through Klinik-13.

He faced living nightmares, illusions capable of breaking one's will.

At the cost of his own energy, Echo managed to reconstruct the thread of Mira's memories, untangling the scattered fragments in the darkness.

When he broke the last mental chain, Mira finally appeared — a translucent figure, grateful.

— "Thank you... you've given me back my voice."

This adventure marked Echo deeply.

He understood that the Shadows were not only enemies.

They were also the silent cries of lost souls, that needed to be listened to and understood.

This moment forged his determination to never abandon those trapped in oblivion, and to fight Klinik-13 from within.
