The weight of sacrifice

In the neon-lit streets of Neo Tokyo, Asuka Langley, a brilliant scientist, worked tirelessly on her masterpiece. Her creation, a revolutionary energy source, was nearly complete. But as she approached the final stages, her partner, Dr. Kozuki, noticed something troubling. The energy source had a flaw: it required the sacrifice of young women to function. Horrified, Asuka tried to stop him, but Kozuki refused, believing the greater good justified the loss of a few. Asuka, torn between duty and morality, faced a difficult choice that would shape the fate of humanity.
