Key of Judgment
Function: Interprets false power, used near fallen Interfaces.
There were two powers—each certain they ruled the current of the world.
One was Atlantis, all stone and steel, its towers reaching toward a silent sky. They called themselves the Brokers, dealing in forecasts and futures, convinced their grandeur would outlast the tide.
The other wore a mask and held a gun. The Robber. He mistook silence for control, fear for respect. He believed the room was his because no one stopped him.
Though different, both drank from the same cup: Delusion served warm.
The Brokers sent others to burn. The Robber hid behind breath and bullets. Neither saw the sea returning.
It did not ask.
When the flood came, the Brokers clutched ledgers. The Robber reached for nothing.
Neither could swim.
And when it was over, only echoes remained—
not of power,
but of choices made behind masks.
