It wasn't the rhythmic, mocking heartbeat of the typewriter from the Archive. It was a soft, mechanical *tock-tock-tock* that smelled of old wood and lemon polish.

I crawl onto the bed, pull the quilt to my chin, and open the book. The pages are thick, cream-colored, smelling faintly of iron and old smoke. No preface. No warnings. Just script that flows like liquid shadow, easy to read even in the dim light. The first chapter is titled simply: *Awakening the Veil*. I trace the words with a trembling finger.

“How are you feeling?” “Like I’m losing my mind,” I said. “What did you put in that tea?” Her brows lifted. “Nothing unusual.” She stepped closer, studying my face. “Your pupils are dilated.
