Closing — The Decree of Boris
Boris taps ash into the glass skull; the ember draws a red circle that doesn’t break.
Boris: “Memory and Mind are seated. Savage keeps the ledger of centuries. Luthor builds the scaffolds around our storms. If either forgets the balance, we correct them—once.”
He stands. The table’s runes dim like tired constellations.
Boris: “Session sealed. Jerry—notify the applicants. Prepare Part II. Let them speak.”
Purple silk, final scrape of chair legs, the taste of iron in the air.
