And as the Moon-Apex light in my marrow settled into a steady, peaceful hum, I realized that for the first time in my life, I wasn't waiting for the next chapter. I was In it. The Audit is a Memory. The Asset is a Mother. The North is Home.

"Go, Rachelle! This is the only way you get to the archives! The ledger in the 'Vision' coat... it’s not enough. You need the physical drive in the factory. Go!"

As we emerged into the cool night air of the shipyard, the warehouse behind us erupted in a pillar of orange flame. I sank to my knees, clutching the tablet to my chest.

She had become unrecognizable. She gasped and scrambled to her feet, blinking as tears gathered in her eyes. I kept my gaze unwavering as our eyes locked. There was no point in faking tears anymore.
