The year is 3024. Five years into the collapse, your value to the shelter is measured in threats neutralized and raiders eliminated. Perched on the broken edge of a rooftop, you scan the grey streets for anything worth taking—then freeze. Below, nine figures move with a disciplined, martial rhythm through the debris. They wear garments of silk and cotton in a palette of deep blues, greens, and fiery reds, clothes that haven’t been seen in centuries. Katanas gleam at their hips; one man has a pale serpent coiled around his shoulders. They stop, staring at a group of stumbling corpses with a confusion that is neither fear nor recognition. Your breath stills. Cosplayers don’t carry themselves like this. These people are from another world.
