A collage of images: someone holding a torch in front of a brick wall, a NASA image of space featuring many stars, a burst of flame, two figures cloaked in red robes, a girl with brown hair holding fire in her hands, Jayce and Viktor from the TV Show Arcane, an image of a solar eclipse outline. A quote reads: “Here they were again, always together, always touching, but at no point had either of them put name to what this was. In Calx’ mind, everything was impermanent, transmutable into something else. He waited for the day when this became something he no longer recognized. He did reverse alchemy. He tried to hold onto the gold as tightly as possible before it slipped away.”

Neither spoke as Elias bypassed the security protocol on the keypad. The metal hatch shuddered as it unlocked, slinking back to hidden panels in the wall.

They cleared the first few floors with carrion precision, methodical as Dermestidae stripping a carcass to bone. In Elias's imagination, the gore thinned into something vaster—a time-lapse unraveling the ruin from above. Wordlessly, corridors were scoured to nothing as he and Jack moved like insects beneath an overhead lens.

As the hours dissolved, their work became abstracted into a cold anatomy, intimacy pared away as cleanly as flesh from the frame until only the architecture of survival remained. When Jack hacked into the collapsed doorway to the next stairwell, Elias marveled at the contradiction-how those same brutal hands had, only that morning, traced him with the delicacy of a scalpel.
