She followed the glyphs as if they were a scent. They converged on the old transit tunnels beneath the northern quadrant—the parts closed after the Second Rain. Police drones blocked the usual entrances, but a maintenance shaft yawed under an abandoned noodle stall where steam still lifted in the cracks of plaster.
