Part 1: The Chiaroscuro
About Chiaroscuro
Chiaroscuro is a living gallery—moments rendered in contrast, not chronology.
These pieces aren’t tied to linear time or plot progression. They exist outside the structure of Parts and chapters. Some happen before The Sixtieth Floor, some after. Others may never happen at all.
They are written and released as the story demands—not on a schedule, but in the rhythm of inspiration. A flash of shadow. A slant of light. A memory, a maybe, a moment caught between what was said and what was only felt.
Here, the edges blur.
Here, the truth is emotional, not architectural.
Let them be what they are: glimpses. Fragments. Little honest hauntings.
