SAGA 1: INNER DEMONS

Episode 2 — The Heist (Part 3)

The lab was compact. Controlled. Isolated.

Glass cylinders lined the walls, filled with faintly glowing compounds.

Robotic arms hovered in standby, silent and precise.

A thin layer of cold mist drifted across the floor.

At the center—

A reinforced chamber.

Atmosphere-locked.

And inside it—

The vial.

Golden-blue.

Thick liquid swirling slowly, like something alive.

Agira’s gaze locked onto it.

4:37

No hesitation.

His wrist flickered.

Access protocol engaged.

A soft click.

Seal disengaged.

The chamber opened.

He reached in—

—and took it.

Warm.

Heavier than it looked.

Real.

For a fraction of a second—

he stared.

Then—

Movement.

His visor pulsed red.

Security had reached the sector.

Too fast.

Agira stepped back, already shifting.

From extraction—

to escape.

Distant footsteps.

Metal. Coordinated.

Closing in.

He turned toward the exit.

No wasted motion.

No second thoughts.

Because the job wasn’t done yet.

Not until he was gone.
