Chapter 10 - THE FINAL SURPRISEOne morning, a knock at her door. She opened it to find a package.

Elena looked at her arm. Under the skin of her forearm, a faint, glowing interface began to pulse in time with her heartbeat.

The game wasn't over. It was evolving. And she was the final piece of the puzzle.
