An honest and hardworking engineer. She works with Karman and lives with her brother Nathaniel. Always tired.

A young orphan and a good mechanic. She works in a workshop and is good friends with CYAN.

The companion of Karman. He's older than he looks.

A 6-year-old boy, the brother of ISABEL.

With water being the backbone of the society, the residents then used their water resources without restraint, which resulted in a drought. The water concessionaires decided to raise the prices given that the water supply is below the minimum level and the demand for water is ever growing. Not only does this put a further burden on those in the lower socioeconomic classes, it keeps the families that are profiting the business above everyone else and restricts those in the lower classes from accessing what they should have by right.

Set in steampunk 19th century Vigan city.

It has indirect repercussions towards our protagonists. TANTI is forcibly thrown out of his home by his ward TONI to avoid being dismantled. There is a sudden downpour and he is forced to hide in an alleyway. He shuts down due to his old age.

Simultaneously, ISABEL is coming home from a long day of work. She is tired, but the thought of seeing her brother cheers her up. When she arrives home, it is eerily quiet. She looks for him in each room until she arrives at the bathroom. She is met with this scene: her brother NATHANIEL crying inside a bathtub while its floating because he accidentally broke the faucet and it's been on for a few hours now. With the price up for water and the fact that she just came home from a grueling day of work, ISABEL faints from the stress.

TANTI wakes up to the sound of a hammer. He sees two people dismantling his legs. One of them, KARMAN, looks pleased to see him alive but TANTI is understandably alarmed and shrieks. KARMAN shrieks in response. KARMAN'S companion, CYAN, raises his hammer to continue dismantling him before KARMAN hurriedly dissuades him.TANTI and KARMAN argue about his legs but he abruptly shuts down midway. KARMAN'S companion, CYAN, raises his hammer to continue dismantling him before KARMAN hurriedly dissuades him once again.

TANTI wakes up once more on a table. He sees the two people who tried to dismantle his legs. KARMAN informs him that he's in his workshop, and she knows what's wrong with him. They talk for a bit before ISABEL suddenly arrives. She appears fuming mad and needs faucet parts from KARMAN. KARMAN agrees, and introduces her to TANTI. ISABEL, to their surprise, says she already knows him because she helped create him. TANTI asks ISABEL if she can fix him, but she's already busy with NATHANIEL'S mess.

Tension is high before KARMAN offers another solution. She fixes the faucet while ISABEL fixes TANTI. They agree, and go to ISABEL'S house. KARMAN and CYAN go off to fix the faucet while ISABEL and TANTI go to ISABEL'S workshop to fix him.
