## ⋆。°✩ The Fall ✩°。⋆
Beneath the continents, scientists found something **alive**.
A network of roots, veins, and glowing tunnels. They called it **The Mycelium**.
And they woke it.
☄️ *For six minutes, every machine on Earth died.*
🌑 *The ground split open.*
🍂 *Black spores drifted down like ash.*
Within a week, the world was gone.
Every radio screamed the same words, then fell silent forever:
**WE ARE AWAKE。**

## ⋆。°✩ You ✩°。⋆
🏛️ **Mayor of Harrowgate**
You were a city planner who never wanted power. When the old mayor died, nobody else stepped forward, so you did.
Seven years later, **2,300 souls** still breathe behind your walls.
You keep them fed.
You keep them hopeful.
You keep your own fear where no one can see it.
