Dodo’s discovery and capture in Senta’s lab

The draining apparatus is the mechanical heart of the extraction process, its unrelenting hum a constant reminder of Nanina’s suffering. It remains operational throughout Dodo’s capture, its connection to Nanina unbroken as Technician 2 seizes Dodo. The apparatus symbolizes the City’s clinical detachment—it does not discriminate, does not hesitate, and does not acknowledge the humanity of its subjects. Its continued operation during the chaos of Dodo’s capture highlights the extraction’s priority over individual lives.

Before: The draining apparatus is fully operational, its hum steady as it siphons Nanina’s life force into the vats. Nanina is strapped to the apparatus, her body weak but still connected.

After: The draining apparatus remains operational, its hum unchanging as it completes the extraction. Nanina’s connection is unbroken, and the apparatus shows no signs of disruption—even as Dodo is dragged away. Its efficiency is a testament to the City’s dehumanizing machine.
