Time and EnduranceTheme
The passage of vast stretches of time shapes nearly every encounter in the book, from the Deepmost Markets persisting through four currency changes to the Null-Walker spending four hundred Cycles suspended in the crystal. Things that endure, whether institutions, rituals, or beings, do so by their own internal logic rather than by remaining unchanged.
