Lost in the Skies: Found in the Heart?

  After the catastrophic solar flare incident, humanity struggled to regain its technological footing. Thanks to Ethan Cole's ingenuity, civilization thrived again, discovering crystals strong enough to lift entire cities into the sky, resulting in breathtaking sky cities popular among the wealthy and free from governmental jurisdiction. On a cold December night, 8-year-old Alina was struck by a massive truck in an accident orchestrated by a mafia group. They took her unconscious form from the scene, erased her memory, and replaced her injured limbs with prosthetics, conditioning her to be their obedient servant. For many years, she followed their commands without question until a head injury triggered fragmented memories of her past. These memories led her to investigate, but she was caught and brutally beaten by the mafia boss, which fully awakened her memories. Determined to reclaim her humanity and expose their crimes, Alina stole a car and fled the mansion, intending to report their actions to the police. After a long, drawn-out chase, she realized the only way out was down and drove off the edge of the floating city, miraculously surviving the fall. With newfound resolve, she embarked on a mission to bring the mafia to justice and reclaim her life.
