And alas, a long time has passed and Agent XX finally made it to his birthplace, the secret laboratory deep beneath the surface of Inishika. Reminiscing about his childhood triggered tremors within his mind, as Agent XX had no recollection of anything before he woke up as a cyborg.

The laboratory still looks exactly like it did, when Agent XX broke out of it many decades ago. But somehow, things appeared different now. It is as though everything single equipment aged with time has got a story to tell. And the scars on the walls left by Agent XX when he escaped felt as cold as the subzero climate. Looking at the scars, Agent XX wondered.. What if he had not escaped this accursed place, how would life be like for him now? What if the people behind this project had told him the purpose of his creation, would he still feel so purposeless?

Reliving his memories as he sat on the broken lab chair, he recalled feeling angst for every single living thing with a beating heart donned in an angelic white overcoat. Every single pulse of hurt he felt was caused by these men. Day after day, needles and tubes were constantly connected to him, drawing out bright, warm crimson fluid. Once a day, he would be released for an hour to stroll the icy plains. And he always wondered why are his captors forever wearing thick coats while he took his daily walk with nothing but pants and shoes.

Though they were constantly messing with his body, whenever they looked at him, they would wear a faint smile on their face. Agent XX had always thought they meant him harm and thus a deep, dark anger was slowly building up in him over the years. One fateful day, he could bear it no longer and let out a tremendous shout that rendered all the equipments unusable. The vices holding him in place snapped apart, and for the first time, Agent XX felt freedom.

The whole place was thrown into a chaos and panic was everywhere. As the alarm sounded, it interfered with Agent XX's thoughts. All he wanted to do was to get away from here. Tearing his way through the compound, he unleashed the anger built up in him all these years by smashing and terminating everything and everyone in his way. With the view of the horizon in sight, a warm feeling ignited within him. But standing in his way was a lady with exquisite features. Nonetheless, Agent XX charged ahead, ramming her out of the way.

The lady let out a blood curdling scream, followed by a word with 2 syllables, which evoked such a strong emotion within Agent XX. Looking at the lady, she wept and apologized and then told him to not turn back. Eventually Agent XX reached civilization and decided that that was Year 0 for him.

P.S Does everything really appear as what they seem to be?
