Elena stepped closer. “Tell me.” Architect Zero stood. “She was the first consciousness.” “Created by whom?” “No one.” Elena frowned. “That doesn't make sense.” “It isn't supposed to.”

The circle had weight, memory, and structure. I was led in naked. Oil made the skin between my legs gleam. A slow trickle of the afternoon’s combined loads had already begun to run down my inner thigh. My body felt conditioned, ready, open. Sebastian gave a single nod. “Full rotation. Sixty-five.
