Claire’s thumb brushed her molar, tasting copper. The neural disruptor had masked something else—a subliminal frequency humming beneath her skin. She recognized the waveform. Synaptic mapping. They weren’t tracking her location. They were harvesting her decision-making patterns.

The wristband’s grid pulsed faster. Nodes branched into dendritic structures mirroring her own neural pathways. Too intimate. Too precise. Someone had grafted her cognitive signatures onto the building’s schematic.

Claire exhaled sharply through her nose—a controlled reset. The crystallized residue on her fingertips flaked away, drifting toward the floor vents. Too light. Engineered particulate. She closed her fist, halting the dispersal.

Above, the ventilation grate rattled again—this time with mechanical precision. Claire didn’t look up. Her wristband’s display fractured into three overlapping grids: structural, electrical, and now, unmistakably, biometric. The red nodes weren’t charges. They were synaptic anchors.

A drop of condensation fell from a pipe, splashing near her shoe. The sound echoed oddly. Claire focused on the ripple pattern. Too symmetrical. Acoustic calibration. The entire corridor was a resonant chamber, tuning itself to her physiological feedback.

Her wristband shuddered violently—then stilled. The grid dissolved into static before reassembling into a single phrase: PLAYBACK INITIATED.

Claire's breath hitched.

The neural disruptor concealed a synaptic mapping frequency, revealing Claire’s cognitive patterns are being harvested. Her wristband projects overlapping grids—structural, electrical, and biometric—while crystallized residue floats toward vents, confirming engineered dispersal. The corridor acoustically calibrates to her physiology as the wristband shifts unexpectedly to PLAYBACK INITIATED, triggering her sharp inhalation.

The corridor fluorescents flickered in perfect sync with her elevated pulse—coincidence engineered into inevitability. She pressed her tongue to the roof of her mouth, disrupting the biometric rhythm. The lights stuttered.

PLAYBACK INITIATED dissolved into rapid-fire images across her wristband—glimpses of her own memories reshuffled into foreign configurations: Ethan adjusting his cufflink not in the elevator, but atop a Brooklyn brownstone at dawn. Claire herself standing in Sterling Corp’s vault, hand hovering over a server array she’d never accessed.

The ventilation grate above her rattled again, exhaling crystalline dust that refracted the fractured light into miniature schematics against the wall. They assembled into a familiar face—Dr. Lien’s, the behavioral tech who’d designed their neural tracking protocols. Except the chin was wrong. Too narrow. The jawline belonging to someone else entirely.

Claire’s wristband pulsed—three sharp bursts—as the playback stuttered, freezing on an image of Ethan’s hand gripping a stairwell railing. The knuckles were bruised. A detail she’d never seen.

The dust settled into new formations: alphanumeric strings, dense and illegible from her position. She stepped back—once, twice—her shoulder blades pressing against the cold concrete wall. The wristband’s display fragmented, pixels scrambling into jagged lines before reassembling into a single phrase:
