The game was pushing them closer, using the unsettling peace to lower their guards, to foster intimacy. They moved deeper into the city of spires. It was utterly empty. Houses stood with doors open, meals half-eaten on tables covered in dust. It was a snapshot of a life that had simply… vanished. In a grand observatory, they found the source of the anomaly.

"Follow the pattern. Don't think about the syntax. Just keep the frequency within the green zone." The red screen turned white, then yellow, then back to a chaotic, flickering mess. The penthouse groaned under the weight of the encroaching chaos. "It’s fighting back!" Chalida screamed, her fingers a blur on the keys. "It’s overclocking the memory buffers! The heat in the room is spiking!" "Keep going!" Pim yelled, the skin of her face stinging from the rising temperature. "We’re almost at the kernel break!" "Why is it doing this?" Chalida shouted, tears streaming down her face from the sting of the heat. "Why did it choose to destroy the market? Why not just steal the money and vanish?"
