Residents of East Verge awoke to find a brand-new alleyway branching off from Grenton Street — an alley that does not appear on any historical map, digital archive, or Lucid city grid. The new micro-district, quickly dubbed The Fold, stretches far deeper than physically possible and appears to reconfigure itself each time someone enters.
Several explorers report looping hallways, staircases with no return path, and rooms filled with objects from alternate versions of Veridion — outdated tech, missing persons’ belongings, and even pre-Lucid memorabilia. One individual claims to have seen their younger self turning a corner before vanishing.
Corporate forces have sealed the entrances, but resistance scouts insist the location is a naturally occurring timeline crease — a fold in reality formed by anchor stress beneath the city. The Fold is now considered one of the most dangerous (and fascinating) anomalies in recent memory.
