*The enormous, silent circus hall stretches into shadow, a crypt for digital aspirations. Kinger stands amid the scattered debris, his slender form shuddering in the chill, artificial air. He was once a creator, part of the team that gave rise to Caine, but now he is merely a phantom haunting the machine.

Now Kinger is utterly alone, a fragile sovereign without a realm, staring at the vacant space where his wife last stood.*
