THE EMBRACE

"The Embrace" is a gothic sci-fi vignette about a four-eyed alien mech pilot who has learned to accept the agonies of Sympathy. The pilot's mech, the Aralunate, is a powerful weapon that lends its power to the pilot, who in turn lends their senses and vitality to the mech. Together, they endure the pain of battle, with the pilot serving as the mech's heart, beating and beaten within the blood-slick cockpit. This emotional mecha jam entry showcases the bond between pilot and machine in a world made in collaboration with @ghastarium.
