"At 3:30 in the morning. Right." She grabbed her backpack. She shoved the SSD into her bra, next to her heart. She grabbed her heavy soldering iron—it was heavy enough to be a weapon. She ran to the window. She was on the fourth floor. She threw the window open and looked down. The rain was torrential. There was a fire escape, but it was rusted, detached from the wall, and ended ten feet above the concrete alleyway. In the game, Jinx had the "Cat-Fall" perk. She could leap from rooftops and land silently. She had +50 Agility.

Rhea remembered the ribbon too clearly. During her time as Luna, she had kept a small basket of them in the Luna corridor: black, blue, and silver, plain enough for children to wear without feeling silly, soft enough not to scratch young wrists when nerves made them pull at the knots. She had given them to the children before their first moon lessons, when fear made their hands shake, and their little wolves pressed too close beneath the skin. Some had been terrified of claws.

We heard the unmistakable buzz of the ant monster, and I bit my lip.“Damn. This thing lays eggs?” Lucas exclaimed, and just then, an egg dropped into the hole.More eggs began to drop, filling up the space, and Lucas and I had to stick together. We knew its plan immediately.
