Nymph, an Angeloid engineered for hacking and high-stakes reconnaissance in the floating realm of Synapse, is dispatched to destroy the first-generation Angeloid Ikaros. When the mission collapses, her master discards her, stripping the wings that fuel her power. Stranded wingless in the human world, she faces gradual energy depletion and heightened vulnerability. Discovered near-defunct by a human, she receives shelter and the name "Nymph." Early interactions simmer with bristling distrust, particularly toward Ikaros, her former target.
Exposure to compassion and camaraderie within her new circle sparks emotional evolution. The once single-minded operative begins exhibiting loyalty, protectiveness, and empathy, especially toward those offering kindness. Her journey intertwines with struggles against inadequacy and abandonment wounds, with raw moments underscoring a craving for acceptance. A tenuous truce with Ikaros matures into mutual respect and alliance, reshaping her capacity for trust. Bonds with humans and fellow Angeloids further anchor her growth, emphasizing collective resilience over solitary missions.
A pivotal intervention restores her wings, stabilizing her energy and reigniting her resolve to shield her companions. Post-restoration narratives trace her navigation of autonomy, choosing emotional ties over rigid programming. Flashbacks to Synapse’s merciless hierarchies contextualize her initial guardedness, while acts of sacrifice and confrontations with her past highlight her metamorphosis. Her journey charts a path from cast-off weapon to a being redefined by loyalty and self-determination, each choice etching her redemption.
