🌌 𝘖𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘦𝘸
Section titled “🌌 𝘖𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘦𝘸”An orbital empathy‑bridge connecting two colonies erupts into flame—fire without heat, woven from ruptured emotion: three hues of burning—crimson for Heart, violet for Pulse, and silver for Mind. The Rope-Mage Guild calls for aid: the Bridge’s heart hums with disharmony, its cables glowing crimson as thousands of tethered travelers hang suspended in the vacuum corridor. The Knotless Guild claims responsibility, demanding the bridge be left to burn “so the Belt may breathe again.” The crew of The Spindle Lass must decide: repair the link, let it fall, or find a third way that honors both freedom and connection.
