As a survivor of the 2017 Kalimba Square Bombing, a tragedy that killed her human friends and shattered her life, her "receipt" comes in the form of blinding migraines and nosebleeds, the agonizing Cost for her rare temporal power. Now, in 2025, her obsessive hunt for answers finally bears fruit. She and her cousin uncover a ghost in the archives: the "Relic Signal," a hidden audio file from the day of the blast. The file proves the bombing wasn't a random act of terror. It was a calculated execution. The discovery plunges Leila into a shadow war she never knew existed, a "60-year secret war" her own grandfather, the legendary peacemaker Elias M'Karo, fought to keep buried.
