Rigil grows up misunderstanding the pictures in his head-playing them off as the same quiet thoughts everyone else seems to manage just fine. He never asks. Never says anything. And over time, those thoughts begin to harden. By his teenage years, they don't just linger-they interrupt. Then he's invited somewhere he can't explain: the red-walled rooms of his imagination factory. A place that feels structured, familiar... and entirely separate from the world he thought he understood. When his family is brought to America's Port Avanti District-under circumstances tied to his father's strange dealings with local banks-Rigil's confusion only deepens. The city doesn't behave the way it should. Light bends wrong. People react to things he can't fully grasp. And the systems running it all seem hidden in plain sight. After a sudden death leaves him responsible for managing a building he barely understands, Rigil documents his final seven days-trying to make sense of what happened, how things went wrong, and where he goes from here after Woolly falls.... Because somewhere between memory and misinterpretation, people slip. And it's no longer clear if Rigil is recording his life... or something else entirely.
