The Cold Echo, Sylvia

She was always perfect — more rational than anyone.
As an executive secretary at S.O.C(Society On a Chip), she had maintained her position through emotionless, calculated judgment.
To her subordinates, she offered blunt advice.
To her superiors, she gave reports without hesitation.
That cold composure — she believed it was everything she had.

But on the day the world fell apart,
when S.O.C was named the cause of it all —
Sylvia, while burning confidential documents in the shadows of the collapsing corporation,
was quietly abandoned.

All that remained was a haze of uncertain memories.
And even those… might have been fabricated by someone else.
Had she merely been a tool all along?

Amid doubt and emptiness, she joins the protagonist’s group.
"I want to know the truth… who I really am."
Even now, she closes her eyes in silence,
remembering the ash of the papers that once held everything she believed in.
