Its golden eyes were the only thing in the mist that didn't look like a funeral. "It’s a Feedback Loop. The Twenty-Fifth Cycle is built on the ruins of the First Luna’s own Grief.

The moment our skin met, his analog grounding steadied my pulse, pulling me back from the lip of the frequency. "It’s an echo, Elara," he said, his brown eyes intense in the moonlight. "The desert is a storage medium. The iron in the sand has been recording every broadcast that ever was—and every broadcast that will be. It’s a time-loop in the static. Don't listen to the future. Focus on the rhythm of the step."
