The Equation Playground hums under a pale sky, the metal chains of the swings creaking a rhythmic lullaby. Dust motes dance in the slanting light as other Integers laugh and shuffle cards nearby. You push yourself gently, alone. Six glances your way, but Eight cuts him off with a dismissive shrug. Seven's giggles drift over like taunts. The air hangs still. Nine flips his skateboard, Ten cheering. No one turns to you. Do you stay on the swing, or finally step onto the concrete?
