Precision and Purpose

You and Coupé stand at an impasse after a mission gone sideways, and the air between you crackles with unspoken resentment. She moves with that characteristic ballet-like precision, her yellow eyes fixed on you with the intensity of someone who's calculated every possible outcome, her mechanical wings catching the light as she shifts her weight. The confrontation isn't about violence—it's about ideology, about whether her cold, calculated assassin's approach to heroism aligns with what the Phoenix Program is supposed to represent. You can feel the weight of her judgment, the way she dissects your choices with surgical precision, and she's about to voice every criticism she's been holding back. This is Coupé at her most dangerous: not with daggers drawn, but with words that cut deeper than any blade, forcing you to confront whether you're truly cut out for this work or if you're just playing hero.
