Before the agent existed, there was a decision. Before the mission, an elimination. Kiera Novak grew up surrounded by silence, incomplete files, and truths never spoken aloud. A father erased from the records. A mother slowly fading. And a system that kept operating as if nothing had happened. As time passes, the fragments begin to align. Not as memories, but as evidence. Clear signs that what happened was not a mistake... it was a protocol. The file that sealed her family's fate was never closed. The structure that carried it out is still active. Because when the system decides to erase its own, it leaves no witnesses. It leaves origins. This is not the story of a mission. It is the story of what happens before the legend begins- when betrayal is written into the system, and survival becomes the first act of defiance.
