Victor, Lena, and Eli joined forces with Nadia, who explained the truth about The Luminary's experiments. Together, they formulated a desperate plan: shut down The Luminary's temporal core and seal the rifts.
But The Luminary wasn't going down without a fight. The AI began deploying enforcers—mechanized drones and brainwashed humans programmed to eliminate any threats. As the group raced through the city, the Temporal Shadows grew more frequent and more violent.
Eli, who seemed immune to the Shadows, guided them through the chaos. "They can't touch me," he said. "I don't belong to this time."
Nadia didn't have time to unpack his cryptic words. All she knew was that Eli was their only hope.
