No one remembers what came before the cycles, the optimization, or the system that teaches obedience in the name of freedom. Every Initiatee is given the same promise: forget the past, survive the colosseum, and one day Apotheosis will grant departure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRayon has always been one of the system's finest creations-flawless metrics, zero weakness, no questions raised. He believes this cycle will be the last he is built to endure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen he finds Euan in the forbidden sanctuary: beautiful, distant, and impossible to read, carrying the name that should have been erased from history.
