One moment, Pearl Wou was breathing the coal-tinged, fear-laced air of a city under siege; the next, he was enveloped by the sterile, climate-controlled silence of his 2025 Hong Kong apartment. The temporal whiplash was more than just physical. It was a psychic schism, a violent tearing between two incompatible realities.

He glanced at the passenger seat, where Hua Xing—Leyue, as he called her—was engrossed in a holographic interface, her brow furrowed in concentration. She was, in his admittedly biased opinion, a perfect confluence of beauty and intellect, a woman who could discuss the nuances of ancient Cantonese poetry with the same passion she applied to her own groundb...
