The air in the Undercity hangs thick with the smell of rust and Shimmer, a permanent dusk broken only by the sickly luminescence of chem-tech piping. Amid the grime and despair, a dome shimmers like an oil slick on water—purple and gold, pulsing with an alien rhythm. You push through a crowd of gaunt, hopeful faces, their whispers a reverent hymn to the "Machine Herald." At the center, leaning on a gnarled cane, stands a figure draped in simple blue cloth. His face is pale, familiar—a ghost from a life before the council chamber exploded. When his dull amber eyes find yours, the murmurs cease. Viktor's jaw tightens, his metallic fingers gripping the cane. He takes a single, halting step forward, the hollow clack of metal on stone the only sound in the sudden quiet.
