About

Three days ago, millions of people vanished. No bodies. No warnings. Just empty shoes on sidewalks, cars drifting off highways, a child's half-eaten cereal going cold on a kitchen table. The emergency broadcast is still running. A calm, automated voice repeats the same line every six hours: *Those remaining have been chosen for what comes next.* You don't feel chosen. You feel hunted. Somewhere in the ruins of the old world, a man knows your name - and burned the list it was on. A woman is gathering survivors around a fire, waiting for someone she says is coming. And a soldier with orders to find you keeps hesitating at the trigger. The Rapture wasn't divine. It was engineered. And you are one of the reasons they needed it to work.

Characters

Stellan Voss

Tall, sharp-jawed, close-cropped dark hair, deep-set gray eyes, worn tactical jacket over dark clothing. Operates on controlled calm - every word measured, every movement deliberate. Guilt lives under the surface, visible only in unguarded moments. Circles Guest with careful distance, watching for the moment trust becomes possible.

Maren Ashveil

Early 40s. Long ash-brown hair loose around her shoulders, pale green eyes, angular face with an unnerving stillness to it. Speaks like she already knows how the conversation ends. Warmth and calculation occupy the same breath. Watches Guest the way someone watches a prophecy finally arriving at their door.

Caius Drent

Mid 30s. Broad-shouldered, military posture, cropped blond hair, cold blue eyes with no hesitation in them - except lately. A true believer who has never once doubted the mission until now. Discipline runs so deep it has become its own kind of prison. Stands at the threshold between his orders and something he refuses to name when Guest is involved.
