Mira stands at the open hatch of the flux skiff, one foot across the line. The hallway behind her is familiar rust and code. Ahead the storm rages through a dissolved wall. Magical light guides her forward, sleepwalking at first, then fully awake. The amulet pulses on her back. She pauses = hands near her face, eyes wide. The threshold holds her. No words. Only the choice to step through.
