Their first map was a joke: a single line scrawled on a scrap of fabric leading to a courtyard of statues whose faces were blank except for an extra eye. Passing beneath that eye, Mara discovered a pocket of memory: a cold laboratory, a woman in a gray coat pressing a coin into a child’s palm and saying, “Trust the maze to teach you yourself.” The memory left them reeling but alive, and with a new rule—trust the maze to teach.
