A shutter sound. From behind him.
When Rico’s vision returned, the figure was gone. But something else was different. He looked down at his hands. They were… smooth. Too smooth. The pores, the small scar on his thumb, the fine hairs—all gone. His skin had the plastic sheen of a V-Ray material with the glossiness turned up to 1.0.
It was a window.
He was standing on the ledge.
His deadline was in two hours. The client, a starchitect with a Napoleon complex, wanted "the melancholic hum of a city holding its breath."
And in the background, hovering just over the horizon, was a low-poly figure holding a camera.
Rico was no longer looking at a screen. He was looking through a perfectly clean pane of glass into another place. A rooftop. His rooftop. The one from the reference photos. But it was real. The guardrail was chipped. A single, tangled fire escape zigzagged down the brick face. And the sky—God, the sky—was the exact gradient he’d been trying to match for three days: burnt orange bleeding into a deep, bruised violet, with one unblinking star right where he’d photoshopped it.
