CHAPTER 2 — “The Frame That Shouldn’t Be There”

Chapter 2 is where suspicion turns into something neither of them can ignore. Riven isn’t standing in the dark alone anymore — Calyx feels it now too, even if he refuses to name it.The warped panel, the shifting frame, the camera turning on its own… none of it is loud, but all of it feels intentional. Like the station is leaning in, studying them, choosing its moments carefully.This chapter matters because it’s the first time the anomaly reaches out in the open. Not as a glitch — as presence. And the worst part isn’t that it moves. It’s that it cleans up after itself.Thanks for reading. The unraveling has stopped being theoretical. It’s here now.
