Die Wachende
Memory is currency here, and forgetting is a duty. Serenne Valois is an archivist: she finds forbidden memories and deletes them. Until she stumbles on a truth someone locked away — and on a man the order files as an error in reality.

Die Wachende
Reality is split. On the material shore order rules, and order administers memory: the Central stores it, issues it, deletes it. The spiritual shore officially does not belong — it has colours this side has no names for.
Serenne Valois works for the Central. Her job is deletion, and she is good at it. Then, in the deepest shafts where the air smells of burnt data, she finds something that should not be there: a capsule in which someone opens their eyes and looks at her — not as a memory, but as a truth.
From that moment on, every touch is a breach of protocol, and in this world a breach is not a clerical error but a rift. Serenne is not risking her life — she is risking her role. And without that role she is nobody in Thornwick.
