Kaito burst back into Earth's orbit like a falling star.
The shockwave of his re-entry re-synchronized one Boundary Star instantly—but destabilized the other further.
The sky screamed with light.
He saw it immediately.
The filament in the desert.
It was thin—but it felt vast.
Not expansion.
Not consumption.
Interference.
"What are you?" he demanded, projecting Axis authority toward it.
The filament did not respond.
It tilted.
As if examining him.
Silver Eyes flickered weakly beside him in spectral form.
"It is not bound by divided infinity," she warned.
For the first time—
Kaito faced something his solution did not apply to.
