The haze didn’t wait.

It struck at dawn, the same hour Jason’s own people were tearing themselves apart. One heartbeat, the square was filled with voices arguing over the boy; the next, shadows stretched across the barricades, long and jagged, as doubles rose from the mist like broken reflections.

The stranger’s truth lingered: The haze is your reflection. Their new concord—Mara’s grit, Gav’s grief, Eryn’s s
