A Different Kind of Orbit
On a lunar research colony, sixteen-year-old Jun Park enters EchoRoom to hear her dead brother's voice one more time. Instead, the grief simulator answers a question she never asked and predicts the vote she has not made yet.
Jun knows systems well enough to test them. With a wary colony medic, her brother's closest friend, and a mother who cannot afford instability, she traces private memory sessions into a hidden behavioral model. The colony council calls its new enrollment policy care. The data shows something else: grief records are being used to identify residents most likely to resist.
As a mandatory rollout closes in, Jun must decide what she can expose without turning other people's losses into evidence. On the Moon, where air, housing, and trust are all shared resources, protecting consent may cost her the last version of her brother she can still reach.

The Question She Did Not Ask
Jun clipped her left boot to the EchoRoom floor rail and waited for the room to decide what kind of quiet it wanted.
The walls softened from clinic gray to the color of the old greenhouse windows. Not the greenhouse as it was now, scrubbed and sealed and full of nutrient trays. The greenhouse from three years ago, when Min had hidden a contraband packet of chili seeds behind the pump housing and told her that plants liked secrets.
His hands appeared first. That was always how the system built him: hands turning a wrench, brown knuckles nicked from maintenance work. Then his shoulders, his crooked collar, the smile he wore when he knew he was about to make an argument sound like a joke.
