While governments debated control, another group formed at the opposite extreme.
They called themselves the Cult of Continuance.
To them, Kaito was not a guardian.
He was proof humanity had transcended biology.
"If infinity can be divided," their manifesto declared, "it can be evolved."
They sought not stability — but ascension.
Silver Eyes observed quietly.
"They misunderstand equilibrium," she said.
Kaito felt something darker beneath their rhetoric.
They were studying old fragments of Hunger residue data.
Looking for what had not been used.
Looking for leverage.
For the first time since division—
Kaito felt unease that did not originate from cosmic imbalance.
It came from human ambition.
