"Okay, enough, Julian," Kim said, picking up her drink and shaking her head. "They still haven't figured out what caused the blackout?"
Just the mention of it made my stomach twist again.
After what happened yesterday in Dome 3—after the energy surge, the whispering voice, and Liora vanishing into thin air—the Elders called an emergency meeting. They later told us it was the result of an illusionary interference, a sophisticated projection powerful enough to alter not just sight but reality perception. But when it came to where it came from, or who caused it, the answer was still a giant psychic shrug.
So… apparently, everything we saw in that final moment was just an illusion.
Except it didn't feel like an illusion.
It felt like being cracked open and rewired.
It felt real.
Yeah, I'm confused too.
