On the road to D.C., Maia and April drive deeper into the wreckage of a collapsing world — scorched highways, ecological ruin, and spiritual dislocation. As Maia begins to sense strange transformations within herself, a visit to the Smithsonian ignites more than just questions about humanity’s origins. In the planetarium, under a dome of cosmic projection, something awakens. A voice. A fire. A calling from beyond the stars.
