Omniview: ECHO
The passkey blinked open with a soundless flick. Sora sat still for a long moment, heart thudding, eyes stinging from hours of sleepless white light. He didn’t know what he expected to find, only that it wouldn’t be her. The key had taken him all night to crack. His rig was a patchwork of scavenged parts and code he’d written himself, sorting through encryption layers like a digital locksmith picking a thousand locks at once. When the directory finally bloomed open, its name glared at him in stark white letters: ARCHIVE//VERACITY_CONTROL.

Return
I have died again. The other deaths blur at the edges, faint and ghostlike, but I feel them inside me. Like a limb that has slept too long, prickling back to life. A forgotten ache waking up. Already, this one too begins to dissolve, slipping through my grasp like water through fingers. I never remember them for long.

The View
You have not spoken since we began the climb, though neither have I. Still, our silences are not the same. Yours is a silence devoured, pulled inward, swallowed whole by the little black box in your hand. That dark mirror world, always buzzing, always demanding. It holds you hostage. You walk half-present, glancing up only to keep from stumbling. Whatever world you’re in, it is not this one.
