DOSSIER · A

The Faces on the Wall

01 – 04
01
Arthur · Young
Pre-Roar Arthur. Looks at sunsets and means it. Hasn't been on the cover of anything yet.
CAST · ORIGIN
02
Dariah
The reason this magazine exists. Wears the pink beanie like it's armor. Don't ask, just keep up.
CAST · COVER
03
Alessia
Producer. Strategist. The hand that decides which night becomes a legend and which one gets quietly deleted.
CAST · ARCHITECT
04
Arthur · Elite
Arthur after the gravity wins. Glass cleaner, jaw harder, room colder. Same name, different specs.
CAST · ELITE BUILD
DOSSIER · B

Three Cities Worth Naming

05 – 07
05
Eloria
Eloria
Glass towers, civic order, the streetlights all hum at 50Hz. The city pretending it's still the future.
CAPITAL · ELORIA
06
ROTI
ROTI
The grid that never blinked off. Markets, music, the kind of street food that ends in a court summons.
SISTER · ROTI
07
Veranda
Veranda
Old money, taller balconies, the one with the rooftop where the network gets made and broken in the same hour.
UPLAND · VERANDA

Seven Rooms You Can Walk Into

08 – 14
08
Alessia's Balcony
Twenty skies, two viewing modes, one drink in your hand. Pin the companion, watch the day cycle.
/demos/alessias-balcony/
09
Globe Theater
A sphere with seats. No bad angle, no easy exit, all stage and no aisle.
/demos/globe-theater/
10
XNN Media Room
Twelve feeds, four anchors, one off-air monitor that's always cued to something nobody is supposed to see.
/demos/xnn/
11
Apartment
Dariah's living room. Aquarium loop on the table, neon coming through the blinds, projector ready to misbehave.
/demos/dariahs-apartment/
12
Hovercraft
The chassis that costs a building. Glides above the rest of us, parks where it wants.
/demos/hovercraft/
13
Xerah Rooftop
The skyline at the right altitude. Where the conversations happen that don't make the official transcript.
/demos/xerah-rooftop/
14
Indie Gallery
A small room full of large ambitions. The show that gets reviewed six years too late to help anyone.
/demos/indie-genesis/
DOSSIER · D

Eight Posters Our Characters Made

15 – 22
15
Floating
Opening night. Geometry plus a working suspension of one of its rules.
HOLO · I
16
Wrath
The breakthrough. Every dorm room had this on the back of the door.
HOLO · II
17
Nightclub
After-hours, smaller venue, bigger consequences.
HOLO · III
18
Rock
Volume as architecture. The poster hums at idle.
HOLO · IV
19
Gladiator
Spectacle from the cheap seats. The franchise nobody admits to watching.
HOLO · V
20
Space Opera
Three hours, four acts, one explosion that gets quoted for the rest of the decade.
HOLO · VI
21
Arena
The sport with the rule everyone disputes. Paid somebody's rent for a year.
HOLO · VII
22
Piano
Two drinks deep. The version of the night that's remembered fondly.
HOLO · VIII
DOSSIER · E

Seven Panels That Started It

23 – 29
23
Day Winchester Roared
First panel of the first issue. The shot that locked the rest of the book's geometry.
DWR · PNL 01
24
Dariah's Night
The rooftop chapter, rendered before the chapter was written. The silent version.
DN · ARC
25
DN · Panel 22
The moment she stops listening to the producer and starts listening to herself.
DN · PNL 22
26
DWR · Panel 16
The exterior shot that turned into the cover. The composition the rest of the spread had to match.
DWR · PNL 16
27
WFS · Panel 21
The first panel of the second act. Lights down on Eloria, lights up on someone the city had written off.
WFS · PNL 21
28
DWR · Panel 32
The fight scene that never made the final cut. Better in storyboard than it would have been in print.
DWR · PNL 32
29
Greatness, Unplanned
The closing arc, rendered before the middle existed. Some endings are the first thing you know.
GU · ARC
DOSSIER · F
