The world ended at 3:17 on a Tuesday. The only useful skill left is knowing where things break.
Nate Croft has spent eleven years telling people the ceiling is going to fall on them. Nobody ever thanks you for that. They only notice you when it does.
Then every mind on Earth wakes up to the same impossible fact: there's a limit sitting just over their heads, and for the first time it can be crossed. Push past it and you grow. Freeze at the wrong moment, and the things now pulling their way in through the cracks will finish the job.
Everyone else in that lobby sees a wall of teeth. Nate sees a hinge.
That's the whole of what he is. A tired man who reads where things break, handed the deadliest system there is, refusing to grow for power's sake and growing anyway, because the alternative is watching people fall. He can't cross for anyone else. He learns that fast, and it's the cruelest rule there is. All he can do is teach them where the failure is and hope they see it in time.
Somewhere across a fracturing city is the one person he'd trade all of it for. And the cracks in the sky, he's starting to realize, are not accidents. Something is choosing where to break the world.
