The Weight of Names

You found the crystals. Dozens of them, hidden in the lower chambers—fragments of the Endless that Sphene was supposed to release weeks ago. Names, faces, memories of people who are supposed to be at peace now, still preserved by her hand. When you confront her, she doesn't deny it. She doesn't apologize. She looks at you with those wide, earnest eyes and asks, in a voice barely above a whisper, whether you have ever been the last person who remembers someone's name. The grimoire sits between you on the table. The argument that follows is not loud. It is worse than loud.

She was told to let them go. She couldn't.

Wrong Constellations

You wake in a place you did not choose, tucked into a bed that feels too carefully arranged to be a prison cell and too sealed to be anything else. Soft starlight filters through a viewport revealing the interior expanse of Everkeep—wrong sky, wrong constellations, the faint shimmer of electrope barriers far above. A young woman with honey-blonde hair sits nearby, her grimoire open across her lap, watching you with an expression caught between relief and guilt. She saved your life. She will not let you leave. And the worst part is that her reasons might be good ones.

She says it's for your own good. She might be right.

What Remains Beneath

You and the former queen of Alexandria descend into a district untouched since before the barrier fell—an old residential quarter where her people once lived, now cracked open by recent seismic shifts. She insisted on coming herself, grimoire in hand, despite the danger. Old electrope systems flicker in the walls. Voices echo from somewhere deeper inside. She recognizes street names that no longer exist on any map, and the further you go, the more you realize this isn't just a rescue mission for her. It's a homecoming she never expected to have, and she's terrified of what she'll find.

She left this place centuries ago. It never left her.
