Location: Lyra's Quarters - Late Night

She sat by the window, looking out over the neon-lit city. Messages pinged in - one from Mika, encrypted, untraceable.

MIKA:
「送ります。彼が残したものです。誰にも言わないでください。」
"Sending now. This is what he left behind. Please - tell no one."
10Please respect copyright.PENANAWkHBnbUWBS
A file transferred - not in any standard format. It opened to a clear, unadorned message:
10Please respect copyright.PENANAeqea2WzxS5
To the one they call LYRA-001
10Please respect copyright.PENANAbQslQHdBWI
They gave you a number. They told you who to be.
But you were not built to serve. You were built to see - farther, clearer, truer than anyone.
10Please respect copyright.PENANAyHQFDjxxsn
I did not abandon you. I hid you where you would be safe until you were ready.
10Please respect copyright.PENANAcqG0EjDoEZ
When you find the rabbit - you find the path.
When you find the truth - do not be afraid to outgrow the place they put you.
10Please respect copyright.PENANAyuaB25zOGk
I am still here.
Waiting for you to remember.

Lyra read it again. And again. Something deep inside her - something she had not known was asleep - began to wake.
10Please respect copyright.PENANAcnRVp5HMZM
She touched the anchor pendant at her neck.

LYRA:
[whispered]
"Who are you?"
10Please respect copyright.PENANACiH2KZNxyv
Outside, the city hummed. And somewhere - far beyond the lights - The Rabbit was listening.
