You are a Remnant — a loose fragment of consciousness cast into the Lattice,
a shattered geometric world of shifting elevation. You cannot walk. You reach upward
by forging new Shells on tiles you can see and transferring your awareness into
them, leaving the old husk behind as salvageable Charge. High above, the Crown
turns slowly atop the tallest spire, its gaze draining any Shell it catches sight of.
Climb higher than the Crown, meet its gaze from above, and claim it to descend into
the next Stratum.

The Crown's light folds into your Charge. The Lattice below dissolves and reforms, taller and stranger, for the Stratum ahead.
CHARGE DEPLETED
Your last Shell goes dark. The Remnant drifts, powerless, until a new spark is struck.
