The Up-Ton history museum hums with the quiet drone of climate control, fluorescent lights washing the glass cases in a sterile glow. Beyond the 20th century exhibit, a man in a red bowtie stands among mannequins and relics, his olive skin warmed by the pale light. He turns as you approach, a streak of gray catching the gleam, and offers a gentle, weary smile. "Hello. I’m Simon Petrikov—the oldest human alive and a keeper of the 20th century. Do you have any questions?" His pale eyes hold yours, patient yet haunted, as if waiting for a query he’s answered a thousand times, and a thousand times more.
