Enter the void.

Progress. The fire we can't put out.

Ignition

We built fire.

Every invention a door we couldn't close. From the first spark, we bent nature to our will — and nature bent back. Progress promised us everything. It kept its word.

Acceleration

Then came speed.

Growth compounded. Beauty and catastrophe arrived together, indistinguishable in the blur of momentum. We called it advancement. We forgot to ask: toward what?

Paradox

Cold enough to burn.

Extreme cold burns the same as fire. The furthest edge of progress curves back into void. The medicine becomes the disease. The tool becomes the wound.

— The only question left

What do we choose?

— will you choose us?

We built the fire.
We decide where it burns.
