"Some sins don't hide in code. They breathe, walk, and wait for you to come back."
Location: Skyfall Citadel – Pinnacle Tower
Jiwoon approached the highest point in the system's last citadel.
Clouds coiled beneath him. The air shimmered with reality loops.
But at the summit—stood her.
A woman clad in white, with a sigil burned into her back: [FRAGMENT 7]
She turned.
Her eyes… were the same as his.
Name: Yura Elin
[Designation: Living Sin / Final Fragment]
[System Note: Conscious, Unjudgeable. All attempts to isolate or purge have failed.]
She smiled sadly.
"So you made it this far."
Jiwoon stepped closer, confused.
"You're the last fragment?"
"No. I'm the reason the system created fragments in the first place."
The Final Truth
Yura explained:
She was once part of the original Architect team—
But chose to seal her "sin" away not in memory, but in herself.
Her sin?
Compassion that defied the law.
"They called me dangerous… because I forgave too many."
"So they built the system to do what I wouldn't. Absolute, blind judgment."
"But I stayed alive—so one day, someone like you would come."
The Choice
The Codex hovered beside Jiwoon.
[System Dilemma Detected – Final Judgment Required]
[Option A: Absorb Yura as data, complete system core – Gain full control]
[Option B: Release her from the system – Inherit true ethical independence, but lose total control]
Yura placed a hand over her heart.
"You rewrote the rules.
Now it's time to choose who they apply to."
Jiwoon's Decision
He walked forward—
And embraced her.
"I won't destroy what made this system remember mercy."
[Option Selected: Release]
[Effect: Final Fragment Liberated – Codex Now Operates with Ethical Autonomy Mode Enabled]
[System Control: Transferred from Authority to Adaptation]
End Scene
Yura stepped away—free, for the first time in centuries.
Jiwoon stood atop the Citadel, watching as the entire system shifted.
Not collapsed.
Not reset.
Rewritten.
[Codex Reformation: 100% Complete]
[New System Name: The Harmonic Layer – Powered by Memory, Judgment, and Choice]
"Justice isn't blind anymore.
It sees. It feels. And it chooses—with us."
