"CATSAI, Track heat signatures. Establish audio link: Amilanthior Nightshade." the AI rendered the terrain a mess of blue shapes, with one distinct red spot on a tree near the edge of the lake. 'Connection Established.' a feminine voice informed her. Now she could see and talk to Asper, regardless of his semblance.

If that was the case, she was horribly deluded in thinking he actually cared for her as nothing more than a tool, while she returned the feelings in earnest. Their relationship was doomed to fail eventually...

"Asper?" her voice was carried to his earpeice. "Can you hear me. Please, stop this madness. I know it's not you in there, it's the monster, he's taken over you again. You have to fight! Please try... for me, if you ever really cared?"
