⭐ CHAPTER 14 — “THE CORRIDOR THAT SHOULD NOT EXIST”

Chapter 14 steps out of memory and into a space the station didn’t lose — it hid. The tone shifts from tension to revelation: the pattern stops looking accidental and starts looking designed.The truth settles quietly here: the anomaly wasn’t born. It was built—inside a sealed tier of Loom Phase 2 erased in every record.For Riven, Hale’s shadow becomes structure. The system reads him as someone who should have stood here, and that misrecognition points to the real boundary of 00:17:43: the event wasn’t meant to be witnessed.Idris’s bleed turns deliberate, the system pulling through him to fill its missing pieces. Calyx becomes the stabilizer of what’s still real as recorded and physical begin to overlap.The descent that closes the chapter isn’t toward danger, but toward origin. The anomaly wants completion. The system wants concealment. And the truth waits below, intact and breathing.Chapter 14 opens what was hidden. Chapter 15 begins the reckoning.
