[ARC:1 PH: 1 : INVISIBLE ONE END ]
That night,the city did not wait.It had already made a decision.
The radio announced Riverline Sector-9was cleared by the police.But Anie and Eli they knew Nothing had ended here.
The drone still hovered above.The red light circled silently.The scan was not fully closed.
"There's no running anymore,"
Eli said softly.
Anie inhaled...
Inside her,too many voices.Fear,Pain,
And finally a quiet without resolution.
"Eli,"..
she said,,,"You need to go."
He looked at her...
"What are you saying?"
"It's after me,"Anie said.
"The city is reading me."
The drone descended,Lights shifted one by one.On the glass walls of the buildings,their reflections appeared
a second late.Time was no longer moving correctly.
Break!!!!!
she stepped forward.This time Eli didn't stop her.
"Are you sure?"he asked.
she nodded.
"I'm not running anymore."
She closed her eyes,the wind froze.Inside her images flooded in.
A school bench,Mira's laughter,Loneliness,Sleepless nights,
Dreams,Broken hopes.
That voice that kept saying,,,,,
"!!!You are nothing.!!!"
grasped it....
"No,"she said.
"I am not
only this."
Time stopped for a moment,the drone
shuddered.
Then!!
she heard it,Not words,Not sound,
Awareness.
"You are not invisible.
You were unread."!!!!!
her chest ached.
"Why me?"she asked.
"Because you look back.
Others move. You observe."
Her eyes opened,The world was different.Under the buildings,paths pulsed faintly.Data moved through the air.People appeared like points.
"Anie!" Eli called out.
He couldn't see her,,She was still there.
But now
she existed on two layers.
[Invisibility Breaks]
The drone turned fully red.The scan
deepened.
SUBJECT FOUND....:
Pain surged through her head.
Name required,,
She trembled.
"Eli…"she called.
She ran to him and grabbed his hand.
At that moment,he saw her.Truly his eyes widened.
"Anie…?" Tears filled her eyes.
"It's breaking,"she said.
The scan stopped,The city fell silent.
:Connection confirmed.
Data flowed through them.Inside Eli,
doors opened one by one.
"I "he gasped.
"I'm "
Anie understood..."Yes,"she said.
"You too."
The city spoke again,
"Choose!!!!"
"Observe without acting.Or act and be seen.!!!"
She smiled,It wasn't a fearful smile.
"I've spent my whole life watching,"
she said.
"Now I will intervene."
She stepped forward,The scan shattered.The drone exploded in midair.Lights burst,Time,began to move again.
People turned around,
"What just happened?" voices rose.
But their eyes slid past Anie.She was no longer fully invisible.Nor fully visible.
Eli held her hand,refusing to let go.
"You're not alone,"he said.
Anie breathed in,
"This is only the beginning," she said
"Not the end."
In the distance screens flickered.

would not wait,any longer.In the sky,new drones,New eyes
Anie looked at the city.The city looked back at her.
