It drifts silently through the air like a thought given form: translucent, angular, and slightly wrong to the eye. When Jessica exerts her will, the shard splinters away from the Nexus, unfolding into a dazzling lattice that scans its surroundings with alien precision. Invisible vibrations echo through the quantum weave of the environment, pulling forth residual impressions—memories etched in the very fabric of space. It does not see as we do. It remembers.

Without hesitation, he dips the object into the glowing wound, guiding it like a craftsman at work, his face unreadable. When he pulls it back out, the item looks exactly the same—no runes, no glow, just ordinary steel or plastic—but people still step back, uneasy, because they saw what it went through.
