Fu Tailan lay motionless on an empty, damp street in the Nest, gazing up at the night sky.
There were no stars, no rain, and no moon.
Only countless skyscrapers and streets, parks and rivers, streetlights and shops... were inverted in the sky, turning the dome above into a mural of the Human World, cupped over the Nest.
It was strange. When he had looked up from the Human World, it was the Nest that was inverted over Blackmoor City. But now that he was in the Nest, the sky was Blackmoor City.
Except Blackmoor City seemed much farther away.
"When I was in Blackmoor City, I saw with my own eyes Residents and rules drifting down into the Human World. How is that possible?"
Fu Tailan, still lying on the ground, asked almost languidly, "They can't be falling *upwards*, can they?"
The Resident of the Coil was standing beside him.
