Enter the Living Veil

Somewhere in the walls of Atlantis University, it is raining on a street that does not exist.

Wet asphalt. A cracked curb. A kid in a yellow raincoat stomping a puddle in rain that fell on the world Jackson Bach left behind. No Memory Echo behaves like that. The diagnostic glass has started calling him something the school has no category for.

Behind a wall the university insists is architecturally complete, an ancient system fails by inches, bleeding one world into another, hunting for a single hand willing to take its chair.

It wants an operator. Someone to sit down, hold the authority, and make everything obey.

Jackson has been someone else's file, someone else's asset, someone else's decision. He knows what a leash feels like when it is offered politely.
