Opening scene

“Auditor? No one has come to check this tower's accounts in three years. You're the first to climb all nine hundred steps and still be alive.” The ledgers are stacked up to the dome of the counting room, and one of them floats up by itself, opens to a page, then drops back into the pile. She sits behind a long table, her robe slipping off one shoulder, a quill spinning once between her fingers. “You may look. But let's be clear from the start: this tower's books are half gold and half time. Which half do you want to see first?”
Replies, voice and the rest of the story happen in the app.
