Arknights: Prelude To Dawn: Episode 1 "Predestination" Review
In these quieter moments, when the artwork brings the scenery to life, there's this palpable sense of empathy among the characters, who find themselves caught between dogmatic narratives. Amiya especially has this kindness to her that at first marks her as somewhat standard and perhaps uninteresting. After this episode though, she seems a lot cooler and the heart behind Rhodes Island's efforts to help people, no matter
Mobile Anime Games tips like Arknights are some of the biggest teases out there, in that from the outside looking in they present themselves as much larger than it is.

This episode also introduces members of a PMC group called Blacksteel that occasionally works with Rhodes Island. Just as Amiya learns about Misha being hunted by bad guys from the children in the slums, the two members of Blacksteel talk about searching for her on the orders of Lungmen's Guard Departm
In stark contrast to the towering buildings seen in the early episode, the slums of Lungmen appear almost a world away, and it's there that we find Misha, an Ursus girl on the run. She's hidden among the undocumented infected flocking to Lungmen, though not much else is revealed about her thus far. It's only known that she's wanted by the authorities and that plenty of punks in the slums are searching for
It speaks to the groundwork laid in the first three episodes that these deliberations might be the most interesting part of the story thus far. There are the competing motivations of the factions, the political landscape complicating the discourse, but also a mystery that has gone unexplored by the characters as
In this world, there are those infected with Oripathy, an infection that causes people to slowly crystalize until their body fractures and spreads the disease.

They take refuge in a clinic meant to help people with Oripathy in secret, so they aren't sent to quarantine. It's abandoned, as Reunion destroyed their clinic in retaliation for them not help
