This piece is a personal love letter to many things and tropes I deeply enjoy, including but not limited to Japanese mecha and Tsutomo Nihei’s body of work. It was a lot of challenging work to complete this, but I am happy I took the plunge.
To put the initial idea behind it in a nutshell, mecha stuff meeting an infinite city-like megastructure, full of crumbling and ever-nested temples. Even if the structures seem to be of manmade origin, their alien hostility in their nonsensical arrangements is palpable to the inhabitants. They understand deeply it is a truly infinite world in all directions, with all the implications that come with that.
Traversing this infinite and barren world like nomads in search to make sense of the patterns of the world, they make use of mecha technology that requires the pilots to be kept alive with artificial backup organs and blood for life , harvested from the organic bowels of the city underneath the crumbling stone.

All thanks to a game: RUINER
And when I heard this... I was gone like Matoko Kusanagi in a cyberhacking session: JOURNEY HOME.

A lovably 'you' thing, not the "crazy-conspiracy-uncle" kind of 'you' thing, for clarity :D
