Every power leaves evidence.
The ASCU begins where spectacle ends. Abilities have origins. Technology has owners. Cities remember who failed them. Every victory changes the balance between public heroes and the systems operating behind them.

No single hero defines this universe.
Four lives shaped by emotional contagion, institutional violence, market exploitation, and ancestral power. Each opens a different door into the ASCU.
