Jasmine was correct. There were no happy endings in the City.
And yet, Lyra refused to accept that.
She refused to be swallowed by the City. She refused to let Jasmine die after she sacrificed herself to protect Lyra.
That's why she operated on herself, fusing herself with the cyborg that was once known as Jasmine.
Double fusions—where one person fused with machine soul, then fused with another person—like her case were guaranteed to fail.
However, with Lyra's potential as a Saint, she had a high compatibility for the fusion process.
By fusing Cyborg Jasmine into herself, she made sure that fragments of Jasmine's remaining consciousness could be preserved.
Severity Level 3 Cyborgs had no sapience and overtime their consciousness that dwelled deep inside their mind died completely.
When that happened, nothing could save these people.
Lyra vowed to find a way to separate the machine soul and Jasmine's soul before Jasmine's consciousness disappeared.
