"How small a number are we talking about for the start?" "Perhaps a hundred at most initially." Silas turned his cup slowly in his hand. "And the others wait below while this happens?" "They have waited a thousand years," Oscar said simply. "They can wait a little longer if it means coming up properly rather than all at once and creating panic."

"You… Jeez..." He didn't finish his sentence; he just looked at me with spirited eyes and made a request: "The world championship is being held in our country this time. Will you come watch me?" Go back home? It had only been half a year, but it felt like forever. Maybe it would be good to visit. I didn't have to be afraid of seeing those two… They were nothing, after all. So, I nodded. Liam flashed me a wide grin. What I didn't know was, elsewhere, he was already messaging his older brother.

But you just made this worse for both of us. Wait and see. Happy New Year. Make it count. You have ten years, five months, twelve days. I'm counting every single one.

No countdown. Just 8 people. On this side. 7 people. Plus Chloe. On that side. Eyes closed. For 11 seconds. For March 14th, 2022. For December 31st, 2023. For January 6th, 2024. _Thump-thump. Thump-thump._ 2:48 PM. Eyes opened. Chloe wiped eyes. Once. “Thanks,” Chloe said. “For waiting. For 7. For me.”

"The one Voss's people used, or the other." "The other. The one that's never been touched by anyone I've ever traced." He held my eyes a moment longer than the question needed. "Whoever's behind it, it isn't Voss's old network waking up stale. It's something that's been asleep on purpose, waiting for a specific signal, and three days ago it started listening for one."

As soon as I rounded the corner, I found Aunt Ava standing at the office door with her hands on her hips. The moment she spotted me, a smile crept onto her face. "Oh, look who's here! Lucius!" she chirped. "Come on in and take a seat. Don't just stand out there in the hallway!" I stopped in front of her and got straight to the point. "Aunt Ava, the payment is now three months overdue. Please settle it." She froze for a moment. "Oh dear, what's the rush?" she reached out to grasp my arm. "Here, sit down and have some water first. Why are you talking about money with your family? It can really strain relationships, don't you think?"

Get full records. One thread at a time. Until her entire web came apart.

"Of course I'm here, kiddo. Where else would I be? Did you have a nightmare about the Millennium Bug again?" "The... the bug?" I pulled back, looking at him with wide, searching eyes. "The Y2K thing," Aris said, flipping a pancake with a practiced flick of his wrist. "Don't worry about it. We’ve still got two years before the world ends. Plenty of time to finish the first draft of the 'Project'." I froze. "The Project?"

“We grew up together. It’s not like we would really abandon you. If you kneel and apologize to Bella, she wouldn’t make things difficult for you. She’s so kind.” Tim immediately followed. “Exactly. She said if you can do that, she can forget about everything that happened before. She might even put in a few good words for you to your father and maybe even stop you from being married off to some old man.” George chuckled lightly. “At this point, the fact that we’re still here trying to persuade you is because of our past friendship. So, stop being stubborn. Go back, apologize to Bella, and we’ll just pretend none of this ever happened.”
