Summary
The Ancients chapter had, at last, drawn to a close. They were free.
Free from the cycle, free from their worldly attachments.Free.
And yet, Tarnish still finds herself clinging to their living memory. Not even out of obligation. Out of… something else.
Something she, for all her processing power, could not put a name to.
She was still here, after all.
Mass Ascension had occurred with the weight of absolute finality, a force she could not join nor stop.She had been abandoned.
Not only her. Everyone.How many other Iterators were feeling this same hollowness?
She had never reached outside her local group before.
The thought alone had once felt absurd - there was no time, no point.
But what was her excuse now?
…
Her senior. She knew they would never permit it.
But she would sooner watch her structure erode than allow another them inch of control over her.Void below, it was too soon to start thinking that way.
