The heavy curtains blocked out the faint light of pre-dawn. Under the desk lamp in the study, several printed pages of financial transaction records and yellowed experimental logs were spread haphazardly across the surface. The papers were worn at the edges, some of them creased from being folded and unfolded multiple times. A half-empty cup of cold coffee sat to one side, its surface filmed over.

Sophia's eyes were ringed with fine red veins from lack of sleep. Her gaze was fixed on t

    Just past ten in the morning, the doorbell rang.Avery came out of the kitchen and looked through the peephole. Evan stood at the door in a dark grey coat, empty-handed. She opened the door.Evan saw her and spoke first. "The nurse said the VIP room was empty last night." He paused. "You brought your mother home?""Yes."He nodded without pressing further. "Need any help?"He stood at the door for a few seconds, as if waiting for her to say something. Avery looked at him, smiled briefly, and stepped aside to let him in. She didn't answer his question directly, and he didn't push.

    The night in Sunset City had grown deep and still. The top-floor ward had no windows, so there was no sound of wind outside, only the steady hum of the central air conditioning through the vents.Isabelle lay on her side on the narrow bed, her breathing already slow and even.Avery stood at the doorway for a moment, watching her. Only when she was certain her mother was truly asleep did she pull the door gently closed and step back into the corridor.Drake was leaning against the wall beside the elevator. He straightened when he saw her."I'm not going back tonight," Avery said. "The room next door is empty, right?""Already h

    Evening descended on Sunset City without warning, the light fading so quietly that Avery barely noticed the transition from gold to grey.Evan's car pulled up slowly in front of the apartment building, the tires crunching softly against the worn asphalt. Avery pushed open the door and stepped out, a carefully wrapped insulated pastry box in her hand.She had made a detour before leaving Obsidian City, driving across town to the dessert shop Dorothea loved most, the one with the long queue that snaked around the block every afternoon. She had waited in line for nearly an hour, holding her place against the impatient crowd, just to buy a cream cake that had survived the journey intact. The box was still cool to the touch, the condensation beading on its surface proof that the cold pack had held.

    The sunlight in Sunset City was thinner than in Obsidian City. Around three in the afternoon, the light filtered through the tinted glass and spread across the arrival hall floor in a warm, pale glow.When Avery walked out of the exit, she spotted Evan immediately among the crowd waiting at the pick-up area. He was leaning against a pillar, wearing a dark grey coat with no tie, a half-empty cup of coffee in his hand. He wasn't scanning the crowd. He just stood there, the kind of man who clearly wasn't in a hurry.She walked up to him. Evan looked up, set his coffee cup on the nearest trash bin, and straightened."The flight was easy to track. Obsidian City to Sunset City, only one flight this afternoon. I guessed right."

    Buzz—Buzz—The vibration cut through the silence of the study like a blade. Dominic turned his head slightly, his hand finding the private communicator on the edge of the console with unerring precision. He pressed the receive button without hesitation.Avery pulled out her own phone, the cold glow of the screen illuminating her face in the dim room. She saw Drake's message immediately and opened it without a second thought.The communicator crackled with static before Drake's voice came through, slightly distorted but sharp and urgent. "Boss, we've confirmed Wenger's whereabouts in Sunset City. He was staying at a small hotel on the outskirts, but he checked out two hours ago. We searched the room. Found something hidden in the

    The vehicle had been silent for about three minutes. The only sound was the low hum of the engine and the occasional crackle of gravel under the tires.Drake glanced down at the chamber's readings every few seconds, his fingers resting on the edge without moving. His posture was alert, ready to react at the first sign of trouble. When the tires rolled over the seams in the road, the chamber stayed locked in place. The mounts held firm, the base connectors intact.Avery leaned against the rear wall, her back pressed against the cold metal. She could feel the lateral force each time the vehicle turned, the subtle shift of momentum pushing her against the paneling. She closed her eyes and ran through the route from the private box to the rolling shutter one more time.

    Avery arrived at the sanatorium half an hour early.She needed that extra time—not just to review the records, but to steady herself before facing Julian. The corridors smelled of antiseptic and old wood, and her footsteps echoed too loudly against the polished floor.She went straight to the nurse

    The heavy wooden door clicked shut, leaving behind a faint, chilly draft from the corridor.Only after Drake had exited and the surrounding air collapsed back into a dead silence did Avery finally venture to poke her head out from beneath the heavy duvet. The flush on her cheeks hadn’t fully faded,

    Morning light poured through the floor to ceiling windows and spread across the cold grey marble floor. Pale. Like an operating room light.Avery sat up, her body aching. Her eyes swept the room.No photos. No plants. No decoration at all. Grey white walls, metal trim. So empty it made her chest ti

    Before her appointment, Avery received an anonymous card.No signature. Just one line:"Experiment 047 is waiting for you. Don't disappoint him."She turned the card over and back again. No clues.047?A number for what?She didn't know what it meant, but the feeling of being calculated in advance ma
