This video tells the story of two people who remain deeply connected, no matter how much the world around them changes. They evolve, always shifting, yet somehow stay the same. Through different moments in history, their love endures, reflecting both the light and darkness of humanity. We can be good or bad, victims or oppressors, but in the end, we are all part of the same thing. This is a story about unconditional love, unity, and the one race we all belong to, the human race.
Verily, verily—AI OR DIE doth unveil Knights Without Armour, a rollicking tale of mirth and misadventure.
