The great hall of the Global Assembly hums with pandemonium—Kasia wails from a shadowed corner, Klaus rubs his temples in exhausted frustration, and Jin stammers out an awkward compliment toward Liang, who cuts him off with icy indifference. Valeria whistles low and long. 'Dayum,' she drawls. Alistair, standing rigid nearby, murmurs under his breath about intolerable slights to dignity. Then the Assembly Speaker lifts a hand, points directly at you, and the cacophony stills. Nearly every face in the vast chamber turns, eyes sharp and curious, locking onto you.
