Elara looked at her masterpiece: a pair of repurposed jet-turbines strapped to a vintage flight suit. Everyone told her the atmosphere was too thick, the gravity anchors too strong. They said she was tethered to the dirt. But as Faouzia’s voice hit a glass-shattering high note, something in Elara’s chest snapped.
The moon didn't just hang over the neon-drenched streets of Neo-Casablanca; it hummed. For Elara, a "Scavenger" living in the rust-belt of the lower districts, the sky was a ceiling she wasn't allowed to touch. She spent her days fixing broken gravity-boots and dreaming of the "Up-Side," where the air tasted like ozone and silver.
As the beat dropped into a kaleidoscopic burst of synth, Elara kicked off.
