The screen went entirely black, then refreshed into a stark, white interface. The local servers were no longer responding to my commands. The internal mainframe had bypassed my terminal completely. I had been systematically and flawlessly locked out of my own network. Which wasn’t a glitch. It was a clean amputation. Whoever had executed this override had possessed the master root key that only two people in the entire hemisphere had access to. One lie in my chair. The other was the man who had helped me write the security protocols after my 'father’s' death.

"The failsafe responds to Shareholder-level authority. There is only one entity in this universe that still possesses that level of access." The compass needle steadied. It pointed downward. Through the golden cracks. Past the First Dreamer's curiosity and the Absence's desperate reach. It pointed at the Source Code itself. "You need root access," Arthur said. "And the only way to get root access to a system built on the Utterance's consciousness is to go where the Utterance lives. Into the deepest partition. Into the Source Code's foundation." "Into the cell." "Into the cell. Where the Absence and the First Dreamer and whatever else is hiding in there are currently waking up."

"You’ll need this. It’s the only thing that can 'Edit' the Root-Directory." I took the pencil, looking at the small girl who had dreamed us all into existence. "I'll see you in Seattle, Hope." I turned and ran toward the Server-Tree. ### The Climb into the Root The tree was a nightmare of tangled, sparking wires and jagged metal. As I began to climb, I felt the "Data-Acid" stinging my skin—a green, corrosive mist that tried to dissolve my physical form back into pixels. Every inch was a battle. I used the iron pipe to pry open "Data-Vents," and I used the "Developer Key" to "Comment Out" the security programs that tried to taser me with high-voltage code.

The room didn’t move. No one spoke. Because the presence on the screen felt different. Heavier. Like the system itself had shifted. Lucian’s voice came out barely above a whisper. “…That’s not just access.” Rowan frowned. “Then what is it?” Lucian swallowed. “That’s root authority.” Silence. Victor’s expression darkened. “So the architect finally decided to stop watching.” Cassandra’s voice was tight. “They’re not just inside Helios…”

A big dog with brown fur came running into the room and hopped in the bed with me. It gave me doggy kisses while I scratched it's back making it lie on it's back asking to be scratched there. 'Spoilt dog' I thought as I scratched it's stomach. "Sorry Lily had always been a little bit spoilt, that was partly my fault though" Ramon came back with a small cell phone in his hands. "No, it's okay, I like her" I replied with a small smile as I stopped my previous scratching making Lily whine in disagreement.

"We will be obedient children, don’t cause any strong impact on our mother. When we’re old enough, our mom can’t break us. At the right time, we will give her signals “we are here.” “Not bad. Let’s go.” The little boy was extremely satisfied with the girl's plan. Both happily fell asleep. Daisy sat enough, stood up and looked for something to eat. Daisy had a little bit wonder she has recently eaten too much but got hungry very quickly. Maybe because the food is pure and natural, she easily absorbed the nutrients. Iris closed his one eye, go to “release the flood” at the root. After finishing, he was about to climb back into bed but Daisy stopped him: “Iris, do you want to go boating with me

Eli reached across the table and took my hand. "That's already wrong," he said. "Because I've already seen the real Adrian. He's the one who fights when something matters. He's the one who eventually admits when he's wrong. He's the one who's willing to risk comfort to do something right. That Adrian is worth knowing." "You might change your mind," I said.

Dear Readers, I wanted to notify you that my pen name has been changed to Briar Rose. I also wanted to apologise to each and every one of you for the lack of updates on my end. I should have apologised to you earlier but I didn't and should have at least left an explanation, but now I am back and I am so sorry for the delay. I will be writing more often and can expect to finish this book soon and hopefully move on to better projects. I would be so honoured to interact with all of you on there! 🖤✨ Love, Briar Rose
