Claire Voyance, the Holler Monkey, gingerly stepped over the decayed remnants of the Diamond Cutters Base. Her heart pounded as she wondered if her friends were still here. "How much time has passed?" she murmured to herself.

She stumbled upon a note left by Whisper The Wolf. It read, "I had to leave. I'm sorry." Claire's heart sank. She'd hoped her friends were still here.

Next to the note, Claire spotted a spare mask. She blew the dust off it and turned it on. To her surprise, it still worked. A glimmer of hope sparked in her eyes.

Suddenly, she heard footsteps. She swiftly hid behind a fallen beam, heart pounding. Peeking out, she saw five mysterious figures. "Who are these people?" she wondered.

Before she could react, she was spotted and knocked unconscious. The last thing she heard was, "We found someone, Commander Walt." She slipped into darkness.

Claire woke up in a cold, damp cell. A gravelly voice echoed, "You're a Diamond Cutter, right? The one supposed to be dead?" It was Walt.

"Why do you care?" Claire retorted, her eyes piercing through the darkness to meet Walt's. He chuckled, "Let me tell you something about your friend Mimic."

The words hit her like a punch to the gut. Mimic had betrayed them. He was the reason she, Slinger, and Smithy had been ambushed. Tears welled up in her eyes.

"No... that's not true!" Claire protested, her voice quivering. Walt simply smirked, "Poor Claire, so optimistic." He showed her the proof - Mimic's encoded message.

Claire felt her world shattering. Betrayed by a friend, imprisoned by an enemy, she vowed to escape and confront Mimic. She would seek justice for her fallen friends.

And so, the betrayal of Claire Voyance was set in motion. A journey of discovery, heartbreak, and retribution awaited. But for now, she was alone with her thoughts in the cold cell.
