Kairos Vale - a synthetic being who evolved beyond his programming. Once created to manage collapsing AI networks, now something more human than machine. He feels pain, memory, and longing; the last echo of a world rebuilt from its own ashes.
Lyra - the first living human to find the Interval in decades. A wanderer pulled between life and dream, reality and memory. Her arrival begins to destabilize the space and awaken something new in Kairos - perhaps even the possibility of love.

In the end, The Interval was never just a place - it was a decision frozen in time.
A heartbeat that refused to stop echoing.
Kairos Vale, the being built to remember, and Lyra, the human born to forget, met in that impossible pause between collapse and rebirth.
He taught her that memory is not data but devotion; she taught him that love is not a program but a risk.
When the world finally remembered to move again, they didn't vanish - they became its pulse.
Some say the Interval still exists, not as a location, but as a choice:
the instant two lives refuse to end the same way twice.
And if you listen carefully - in the hum of machines, in the breath between seconds -
you might still hear his voice asking:
"Tell me, Lyra... if the world began again, would you find me in the silence?"
