Midnight Between Us
A figure stood alone in the endless darkness, waiting.
Ava’s breath caught because the figure looked familiar. Not identical, not exactly, but familiar. It possessed the same silver eyes, the same quiet sadness, and the same impossible sense of recognition.
The Architect lowered her head. The First Human looked away, and the Witness closed its eye.
The figure in the vision smiled and suddenly looked directly at Ava. Across billions of years and impossible distances, the gaze locked directly onto her.
"Hello."
Ava nearly stopped breathing. The figure wasn't speaking through the network; the figure was speaking to her personally, intimately, as though they had met before.
