Rafian At The Edge 50 🔥 Newest

Rafian stood on the observation blister, his scarred face reflected in the thick polycarbonate. Beyond the glass, the Scar stretched into blackness, its walls glinting with veins of frozen ammonia. This was the edge. Fall here, and you’d tumble for three minutes before the pressure crushed you into diamond.

He pulled on his environment suit—a patchwork of secondhand plates and third-generation seals. The helmet’s heads-up display flickered, then stabilized. He was fifty years old. His knees ached. His lungs carried a permanent rattle from a near-suit breach three winters ago.
