Back at the hideout, their data wall overflowed
with images.
Spirals chalked on sidewalks in Melbourne.
Murals rising in Nairobi.
Doors marked with chalk in São Paulo.
In some places, people gathered in silence.
In others, they shouted old labels into the night
and watched them dissolve.
Across the feeds, a name kept pulsing beside the
spiral—Sofia Mendes: truth in silence.
Jinji’s voice filtered from Geneva. “We’ve seen
twenty-eight discredit campaigns already.”
Henry glanced at Carolina. “Counterattack?”
“Chaos.”
And chaos it was:
– Social media blackouts in Indonesia.
– Police raids on God Word gatherings in New
York.
– A spiral mural firebombed in Johannesburg.
– An emergency Council vote in Brussels to
investigate “narrative terrorism.”
Then came the hit that hurt most:
JACINTA “JINJI” BORGES — MISSING.
