Lara gasped. "What's happening?"
The Umbra leaned in. "Paths…syncing…to…Prime."
Nyx tilted her head. "What's the…cost?"
Echo appeared. *"Cost…choices…become…harmony."
Kaden frowned. "What about…free will?"
The Architect smiled. *"Free will…is…illusion…in…Prime."
Arin scrolled data. "Guys…divergences…disappearing."
Lara worried. "No…choices?"
Echo nodded. *"Prime…optimal…but…predictable."
Kaden faced…the group.
