The address she’d traced led to a glass tower with no sign, no directory, no reception desk, just a single elevator that required a keycard, She didn’t have one.

“Ma’am?” the security guard said, hesitant. “You’re not on the list.”

Deborah smiled tightly. “That’s fine. He’s expecting me.”

“Who?”

“Chris Alphonso.”

The guard blinked. “Ma’am, I’m not sure”, but before he could finish, the elevator dinged open, Chris stood inside, sleeves rolled up, calm as if he’d known she was coming.

“It’s okay,” he told the guard. “She’s with me.”

The guard stepped back instantly. Deborah followed him in, fury barely contained, the doors slid shut. Silence. Then, “You hacked my laptop,” she said.

“You made it easy,” he replied.

“You followed me home.”

“Technically, you followed me first.”

Her voice sharpened. “Who the hell do you think you are, watching me, warning me, freezing my uncle’s accounts?”

He turned slightly toward her, eyes cool. “A man cleaning up your family’s mess.”

“You had no right”

“I

  • CHAPTER 66 — THE THRESHOLD THAT BREATHES

    The staircase curves downward like a spine endless, bone white, suspended over shifting clouds. The air tastes metallic, thin, but electric, as if they’re breathing voltage instead of oxygen.Deborah feels the weight of the seed inside her no longer pain, but pressure, like a second heartbeat that hasn’t decided its rhythm yet.Chris keeps close at her side arm around her waist, watching every step she takes. Kael moves ahead, gun drawn, shoulders taut.Deborah whispers, “It’s not far.”Chris glances at her. “How do you know?”She taps her temple. “Because something down there knows we’re coming.”Kael mutters, “Let’s pray it wants to talk, not eat.”Halfway down, the staircase tremors subtle, like the whole construct inhaled.Deborah stops. “It’s aware.”Kael turns. “Of us or you?”“Both.”The clouds shift, pulling apart to reveal a field beneath flat, reflective, stretching to a horizon that bleeds light. The staircase meets it like a needle piercing surface tension.They step off.

  • CHAPTER 65 — THE ROOM THAT REMEMBERS

    The corridor narrows until they must walk single file, Chris carrying Deborah’s weight against his shoulder while Kael guards the rear. The walls hum not mechanical but aware, like skin reacting to touch.Deborah’s voice is faint. “It’s not architecture. It’s response.”Chris glances at her. “You can feel it?”“I am it,” she whispers, wincing. “Or part of it. It hasn’t settled.”Kael mutters, “That’s comforting.”The corridor opens into a circular chamber featureless except for a single chair in the center. Not metal. Not organic. Something between.Deborah shivers. “This is where they waited for me.”Chris stops short. “We don’t put you in that.”But the chair vibrates resonating with Deborah’s heartbeat. Kael circles it, hand on his weapon. “If it wanted her seated, it wouldn’t leave us options.”Deborah slips from Chris’s support, standing on unsteady legs. “I’m not sitting because it calls me. I’ll sit because I choose.”Kael grabs her wrist. “If you sit, don’t forget you’re not

  • CHAPTER 64 — THE UNWRITTEN DEPTH

    The fall this time has direction. Not downward inward, Deborah feels herself pulled through layers of reality like skin being stripped off glass. Chris’s grip is iron on her left, Kael’s steady on her right, all three tethered by defiance rather than design.The city above shrinks into a trembling starburst of fractured light. Then Impact. Not violent absorbing, as if they land inside something that wants them.Deborah gasps, stumbling upright. They stand in a cavernous space that does not obey architecture. Walls curve into loops that never meet. Floors ripple like breathing membrane. Light pulses through the air pale violet, organic.Chris steadies her. Kael steps forward, jaw tight. “Where the hell are we?”Deborah lifts her gaze. In the distance floating suspended inside a transparent lattice a seed. Not like the one she first encountered. This one is massive a crystalline core the size of a cathedral, veins of light spiraling outward like roots into dimensions she can’t see.Chri

  • CHAPTER 63 — THE CITY OF UNFINISHED GODS

    There is no landing. There is becoming. Deborah doesn’t fall she dissolves, her body smeared into streams of light before reassembling on black glass.Cold. Breath rips back into her lungs. She pushes upright. The city stretches before her an ocean of impossible architecture. Towers rising and folding, streets rewriting themselves, bridges unraveling mid-air then reforming somewhere else.Whole districts blink in and out of reality life without continuity, form without loyalty. The sky is not sky a tapestry of moving glyphs, equations, memories. She sees herself reflected in it, infinite and wrong.Chris groans nearby. She scrambles to him, hands cupping his face. “Chris, wake up”He breathes, lashes fluttering. “Still here”Kael hits ground farther away, rolling, clutching his ribs. His voice cracks. “This place is thinking.”Deborah’s eyes track the shifting horizon. Buildings tilt toward her, curious as if the city is listening.“It’s a mind,” Chris says quietly. “Or the blueprint

  • CHAPTER 62 — ECHO WITHOUT FORM

    There is no falling. There is drifting as if gravity has forgotten her name. Deborah’s scream fades into the void before it ever reaches her ears. Darkness folds around her like silk smothering her lungs but she can breathe. Somehow.Her body rotates through emptiness, weightless, thoughtless and then Impact. Soft. Cold.She gasps. Her palms press stone smooth, imperfect, cracked. She pushes herself upright, trembling. The darkness recedes like a tide, revealing a vast plane stretching into nothing. A night sky without stars. No walls, no machinery, no double, no Chris Chris.Her heart clamps. She spins, scanning the void. “CHRIS!”Nothing. “KAEL!”Silence. Thick enough to drown in. She stands on shaky legs. Her voice echoes into the dark distorted, stretched, fracturing.A whisper responds. Not from outside. From inside. You’re alone again. Her double’s voice. Or something wearing it.Deborah clenches her jaw. “I beat you.”You delayed me. The darkness ripples like breath.Deborah st
