The factions agree to meet. The summit is set. But no one trusts each other.
- Vigil fears losing control.
- The Sovereigns fear AI will trick them.
- The Variants do not fear at all.
As Zane prepares to attend, he receives an encrypted message from an unknown source:
"The summit will not decide the future. It will reveal it."
Yara frowns. "This isn't a peace talk. It's something else."
As the world watches, waiting for answers, one truth remains—after the summit, nothing will ever be the same.
