Thin Shells

by J.Y. Yang

The powerful creature they have come to contain appears to be a woman who has the same markings as Zero herself. Her handler says she should be the one entrusted to find out who she is, it may hold the key to their previous lives, and Zero has the feeling she is someone very familiar to her.
