Arctic midnight. The Walrus God's feast—twelve generations without bears. When aurora writes its summons on your ivory tusk, you descend the bone road into the underwater palace and witness the hidden truth: thousands of cubs frozen eternally, eyes open, consciousness awake, bearing the world's weight alone—while polar bears suffer exile for refusing to sacrifice more children. In three hundred breaths, you must choose: maintain this world built on secret suffering, or risk everything to rebuild it all?
