The Gilded Cage

Kaelen crosses into Ergo Loom carrying more than a broken data shard, he carries a version of himself he has spent months keeping separate from Sona's world. What he hands her on the workbench is compromised. So is he. Neither of them says so out loud.

Kaelen Corbin takes to the streets of Nexus, clinging to reason against the impossible. A live news feed tears that reason apart. The Ghost Signal is real, and it’s waiting for him.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Thrust back into the neon-soaked chaos of the city, Kaelen desperately tries to rationalise the impossible signal as a mere glitch, even as reality begins to fracture around him.

Kaelen Corbin retreats to the neon-soaked shadows of The Gilded Cage to feed his addiction to the haunting memory of his daughter’s death, only to find his most private nightmare breached by a chilling, geometric symbol, a Ghost Signal that shouldn't exist.
