The moment Fourth Boss caught Light of the Firmament with his chains and threw her into the Spatial Prison, she remembered the terror of being at Heavy Machinery's mercy as a child.
Imprisonment without a glimpse of daylight, inhuman experiments, and a terrifying future like a lamb awaiting slaughter.
