The world did not end in fire.
It ended in truth.
For generations, humanity lived within a carefully constructed reality—stable, predictable, and unquestioned. Systems governed perception. Structures defined meaning. And what people believed to be real was never meant to be challenged.
Until it began to break.
At first, the fractures were small—subtle inconsistencies, moments that didn’t align, memories that felt misplaced. Then the systems failed. The structures collapsed. And the illusion that once held everything together burned away, leaving behind a world no one was prepared to face.
