Billions upon billions of lives. Gone. Not destroyed. Blotted. As if a cosmic thumb pressed down on wet ink.

And I feel it.

I am the boundary. The membrane. The shockwave hits me like a physical blow to the soul. I am Veridia Prime’s final sunset, crimson bleeding into unnatural twilight as the star winks out. I am the desperate, choked transmission from Harmony’s Resolve, cut mid-prayer. I am the gasp of atmosphere freezing solid over New Thessia’s domes, the silent scream trapped in crystalizing lungs. I am the mother clutching her child on a balcony watching the sky die, the warmth leaching from their bodies into the sudden, absolute cold. Billions of final heartbeats, stuttering, stopping. A symphony of silence crashing through my nerves.

Too much. It’s too much. Agony isn’t the word. It’s annihilation. I convulse. The realm itself spasms – mountains groan, rivers run backwards, the sky weeps ichor again. My consciousness fractures further, shards slicing into the echoes of dying

    "He never loved you, Lily. Just the power he sensed. Kieran was always mine."My heart jackhammers, just like then. Betrayal, hot and sour, floods my mouth. I spin, reaching for the energy dagger hidden in my boot sheath – the one I used last time, the time before, the time before that. But my fingers brush empty leather. Where—?The scene flickers. Not the penthouse. The sterile white lab. Arthur, eyes cold and alien, holding the neural inhibitor. "This will make you pliable, my dear. Necessary sacrifices." The prick on my neck. The terrifying numbness spreading. I lash out with a psychic scream, just like last loop—Flicker. Dissolution. The deck plates cold. My hand… blurring. Dissolving into void-motes. The Child’s distant, horrified gaze. The crushing loneliness. I try to hold onto me, just like before—Snap.Back to the marble. Arthur’s smug smile. Kieran’s face, pale and agonized in the doorway behind him, trapped, mouthing ‘Run!’ like always. The loop resets. The trap closes.

    The Garden’s wild magic has always felt like sunlight through leaves—warm, messy, alive. Now it’s… sharp. A wire pulled too tight. Every breath feels like it might cut me from the inside.He’s here. Or—what’s left of him.I can’t look straight at Arthur without my stomach folding in on itself. The edges of him bleed into the air, like smoke trying to decide if it wants to be shadow or flame. His eyes aren’t his eyes. Not the brown that used to ground me. They’re glassy, pale green, light bending wrong in them, and when he tilts his head the way he used to when he was teasing me, it’s not teasing now. It’s calculation.The Council’s corruption has wrapped around him like barbed wire, threaded into the shape of a man I remember holding my hand on the ridge above the old city, whispering about building something better. My chest hurts. Not from the running—though I’ve been running since the wards fell—but from the way memory keeps stabbing through me.He takes a step forward. Not loud. N

    "Cramped. Uncomfortable. Like wearing skin three sizes too small." A pause. Heavy. Meaningful. "You understand confinement, Warden. Don’t you?"It knows. Gods, it knows. It finds the raw edges of my solitude, the gnawing void where Kieran’s ghost-whisper used to be, where the Child’s starlight gaze feels colder every cycle. It probes the loneliness like a tongue exploring a rotten tooth. Deliberate. Precise."Just a little stretch. A fraction. Enough to… breathe. Would that be so terrible?" The whisper is almost soothing. Reasonable. A friend sharing a burden. "I could show you things. Truths the Child keeps locked away. Why the stars really burn. What waits beyond the edge of… everything. The reason your scars ache when the void wind blows east."Forbidden cosmic truths. The lure is obscene. Terrifying. And part of me… the fractured, lonely part… leans in. Just a fraction. Just enough to feel the chill promise of knowledge, of an end to the crushing isolation. The whisper curls aroun

    I am the prison. The boundary-realm. The walls. The air. The roots beneath. And the Unraveler is inside me.It shouldn’t hurt. I’m not flesh anymore. Not really. But it does. Gods, it does. Every drip of ichor is a needle of wrongness burrowing into the fabric of me, warping the trees into grotesque, pulsing things, turning the rivers into sluggish veins of half-clotted time. I can feel the infection spreading—tendrils of corruption threading through my borders, whispering in a voice that isn’t sound, just pressure against the inside of my skull.Lily.Not my name. Not really. Just the shape of it, warped and hollow. The Unraveler doesn’t speak. It echoes.I try to ignore it. Focus on the pain instead. The physical wrongness of the ichor seeping into the soil, the way the air shudders when I breathe (do I breathe? I don’t know anymore). The Child is here, somewhere—small and bright and terrified, flitting through the mutated undergrowth like a ghost. I feel her presence like a hand pr

    The Last Archive. It isn’t a place. It’s a being. Huddled in the lee of a dying nebula, a vast, amorphous shape woven from light that’s more ache than illumination. Compressed history. The sum total of every breath, every scream, every quiet dawn before the forgetting. It pulses weakly. Dying. The Unraveler’s shadow stains the edges of its form, sucking at the fading light. Hunting. Of course it is."Lily," Eira whispers, her voice thin, strained. She holds my good hand, the one not stone, her small fingers icy. "It hurts. It remembers… everything. All the hurt. All the gone." Her eyes are wide pools reflecting the Archive’s dying light, shimmering with unshed tears. She feels it. The collective trauma of existence. A billion billion sorrows echoing in one fragile mind.The Council comm crackles. Vultures circling. "Asset Lily. Preliminary scans confirm the entity’s composition. Pure chroniton-psychic residue. Incalculable strategic value. Secure it. Immediate extraction protocols aut
