Fugue

Open mouths, empty heads, big bytes.The Goldman ledger revealed a catalog of the disappeared. Names with yields. Dates with endpoints. Consciousness harvested and sold at scale. Now Darby Skelm and Beverly are in too deep to surface clean.She's inside the family. Dinner invitations. Private consultations. A son who sees through every adult in the room and trusts the wrong one anyway. The seduction isn't just strategic anymore - it's personal, and Beverly doesn't do personal.Darby's cover is fraying. The building's AI is learning his patterns. And somewhere in the executive suites, someone already knows the ledger is missing.Every alliance has a price. Every betrayal has a schedule.The only question is who gets invoiced first.
