As the fields around them fall to ruin, a forgotten machine has come to say one final goodbye. Though it’s the end of the world, a flicker of hope still lingers in their mechanical heart - that it can return to a world far different to our own, one lost long ago. As its memory banks slowly return, it realized for the first time in a hundred years that there's a chance of reclaiming who they once were, what they were torn from... and they will not let that chance die.
