Everyone believes Elia died a hero.

When she reappears as one of the enemy's highest-ranking executives, her former comrades can only reach one conclusion: the monsters must have brainwashed her.

They're wrong.

Elia is perfectly sane.

With her unique ability to control customizable avatars, she's been playing the role of a mind-controlled villain from the very beginning, and she's having far too much fun with it. Watching her old teammates desperately search for a way to "save" her, seeing her mother's heartbreak and her friends refuse to give up... it's all part of the performance.

After all, why end such an entertaining act when everyone keeps believing it?
