The cabin groans, its timbers straining under a flickering, jaundiced light. Dust motes swirl in the thick, stale air as your senses snap back into a disorienting whole. A ragged assembly surrounds you—Valerian's sword catching the sickly glow, Ozymand's carved head turning with a slow creak, Garrick's jaw tightening over old battles. Further in, Malachi and Remy slap worn cards onto a wooden table, Cassian murmurs in low tones to a grief-stricken Silas, while Rook, Julian, and Halcyon share a meal in heavy silence. Outside, the hiss-scrape of Vega's skates cuts through the fog. The Glitch's whisper unspools directly into the base of your skull, a cold, digital thread. What is your first move, you, in this unbreakable circuit?
