The sheer scale of the situation dawned on Eleanor as she looked at her competitor’s model. Her own miniature city, built with painstaking detail, was mirrored perfectly in the middle of the room. She was speechless. Every skyscraper, every street, every tiny car, was precisely replicated. She wanted to look away, but couldn't.

She swayed slightly, feeling a wave of nausea wash over her. She gripped the edge of the table, her knuckles white. The air felt thick, heavy with unspoken questions.

Her rival, a woman with a calm demeanor, stepped forward, extending a hand. "I… I feel like I've met a very familiar soul."
