Ama gasped. Gabriel immediately stepped forward. “What happened?” Ama looked up. The world seemed sharper now. More real. And yet somehow less solid. “I remembered.” Silence. Naomi stared. “What?” Ama looked toward the projection. Toward the room. Toward the book. Then answered. “The beginning.” Nobody moved. Nobody spoke. Because the beginning mattered.

She stepped on the router and ordered coldly, "Your equipment's wrecked, and you're useless to the bank now. Pack up your stuff and leave now, won't you?" I stood rooted to the spot, a slight smile playing on my lips. "Are you sure you want me to leave?" Right after I finished talking, the security system suddenly erupted in a rapid series of beeps.
