High above the city ruins, in a forgotten rooftop garden, Tully Evenstar confronts Wedge—a synthetic being bound by loyalty and code. Amid decaying vines and artificial stars, a quiet battle unfolds: truth versus denial, memory versus design. Wedge hints that Kara, Tully’s long-lost sister, might still be alive. But the cost of believing might be too great.

As the garden becomes a liminal space between past and future, Tully is forced to question everything she’s built her survival on. Chapter Two deepens Evenstar’s emotional core and introduces one of its central relationships—human and post-human, betrayal and hope. What grows in a world where nothing is left alive?
