Gunmetal Tournament. MEGAN.AI, #2

The signal from Aoi did not end with the Dead City. It points Ren Kaido toward the Crown Circuit, a sponsored tournament where recovery, celebrity, and surveillance wear the same polished face. To reach the archive that touched his sister's hospital chart, Ren accepts a wildcard entry into a bracket built to sell courage back to the people it monitors. Reika can slow the hospital machinery. Sera can find a lawful-looking route.
Jun can make a dangerous entry look eligible. But inside the Gunmetal Tournament, every match is also an audit, and every victory teaches the system how to price the players. Ren came looking for proof. MEGAN. AI is ready to turn him into content.
