CHAPTER 03 · HOMES ON THE MOVE

Where do you come home when the streets move?

Mara’s signal reaches a little stone shelter. You are Sol. Catch the passing courtyard with the brass ring, then step through its doorway. The room travels with you. On its outer balcony, record the moon’s direction; compare it later from a fixed terrace. Is the moon moving, or are you?
