Intro The city never slept, and neither did he. From the top floor of Vireon Tower, Dante Cross stood behind glass walls, watching the storm paint streaks across the skyline. Below, the world buzzed with synthetic life—neon, drones, electric noise. Up here, silence reigned. Clean. Controlled. Just how he liked it. He turned back toward his desk, another night buried in encrypted chaos—until the elevator chimed. She wasn’t expected. A woman stepped in—an employee from a department he barely acknowledged, holding a file she shouldn’t have had access to and eyes that didn’t flinch under his gaze. Confident, curious, and entirely out of place. "Mr. Cross," she said, voice steady. "I think there’s something you need to see." He didn’t know it yet, but that was the moment everything began to change.
