Luna steps out of the static into St. Jude's Hospital, 1989, and finds herself in a corridor that should not exist. The nurses don't see her, the lights flicker in a rhythm she recognizes from the broadcast signal, and a door at the far end pulses with a pale yellow glow. She follows the sound of a woman's voice humming a tune she has never heard but somehow knows by heart. Behind that door is a delivery room, a woman in labor, and a baby whose face she already knows because she has seen it in the static for weeks. But the woman is not her mother—the woman is Evelyn, young and terrified, and the baby is Luna. The signal did not trap Evelyn; Evelyn made the broadcast to call Luna into existence. Now Luna must watch her own birth, knowing that the loop begins here, with her, and that the only way to break it is to stop herself from being born.
