You’re not a warrior. Not a noble. Not a name anyone will remember. You’re an ordinary person in the greatest city on earth — until it begins to die.

In this slow, second-person historical descent, you live through the Spanish conquest of Tenochtitlan as an Aztec commoner. You sell maize. You pray. You watch strangers arrive from the sea with steel, disease, and a god you don’t recognize. You lose your gods. Your name. Your voice. And in the end, history forgets you.

This isn’t a story of heroes or villains. This is a story of erasure. Of slow-burning horror. Of the silence that follows conquest.

If you’re still awake by the end, thank you for remembering what history chose not to.
