What happens: Wren paces the server room, hands through disheveled hair, utterly lost. “It doesn’t make sense… The data is… alive. It’s not just corrupted, it’s mutating. Intelligently.” Aria watches, expression unreadable. The mediator who sacrificed neutrality to build the bridge now cannot model the system he helped open.

- Aria — watcher; counter-attack still in motion; unreadable
- Silas — present as author of the mutating storm
