"I'm cut off all of your actions and lay idle until you need me" Ash replied. "And what happens if I turn you off completely...?" I inquired. "I'm completely cut off of all your actions and recent activities and recent records, turning me off completely might affect my efficiency of knowing you more" Ash replied.

A distant rumble shook the heavens. The crack above the city widened slightly. Everyone looked up. The darkness beyond reality was moving. Watching. Waiting. The First Silence. Nova felt it immediately. Not fear. Not anger. Curiosity. The First Silence was observing. Learning. Like it always had. The Third Silence noticed too. His expression hardened. "He's here." The First Memory nodded. "Yes." The city grew brighter. Silver light flooded the horizon. Then the world became quiet. Perfectly quiet. Every sound vanished.

I asked softly, turning slightly in his grip. Silas was silent for a long moment, watching a freighter crawl across the distant horizon like a slow-moving beetle. "For the first time in thirty years, I don't feel like I’m waiting for a grade. I don't feel like I’m an investment that has to yield a ten-percent return just to be worthy of existing. So yes, Elena. I’m more than okay."

They counted in their minds, shoulders squared, hearts beating the same rhythm—once, twice, their own private code.

The studio lights had cooled, but the echo of the interview still lingered in Evelyn’s bones. Investors had responded with cautious approval.

“Just a different game.” She tossed something to him,it was a photo…. Of Elias. “His name is Elias. He’s not your enemy. He’s not your legacy. He’s just a boy.” Silas looked at it. Looked up. For a moment, his hand trembled. Then the lights went out. EMP. Matteo’s trick. Bought us ten seconds. We moved through smoke,gunfire and our screams. When it all cleared, Silas was gone. So was the USB.

I glanced upon her and saw how her head was facing upwards in the sky. “Heaven, they say…” she whispered but I heard. Heaven. That place was almost mythical for creatures like me, as to how I will never understand. “You’re gonna die?” I asked her like its nothing. She nodded her head slowly, still facing the sky. “Are you wondering why I’m so calm about it?” she asked. I stopped for a second. Now that I think about it, I was wondering. Mortals usually clutch all the remaining time in their lives until they lose it. She was different. She accepts it. She’s just waiting.

She nodded at Schuyler, who nodded back. There was an awkward silence among all of them, even little Olliver was not making a sound, his sharp eyes trying to gauge the situation.
