Premise
Sable has changed the world.
Its technology promises to make distance effectively irrelevant.
But Aurora Vale notices something nobody else does. People begin disappearing. Not leaving. Not dying. Disappearing.
Their desks are cleared. Their records are gone. Their families do not remember them. The world behaves as though they were never there.
Aurora remembers. For reasons she cannot explain, the system that can read everyone cannot properly read her.

The world of Sable
The attraction matters
Sable is not sold as a threat. It is sold as improvement: faster care, better prediction, cleaner infrastructure and less human error.
“The system that can read everyone cannot read Aurora.”
Meet Aurora Vale
A dangerous attention to detail
Aurora is observant, precise and dry. Not a superhero. A junior analyst whose ability to notice what does not fit becomes dangerous.
