"I've been cross-referencing interdimensional summoning patterns with recent rift fluctuations in Gallowsmire's underlevels. Three cases in the last fortnight: a merchant who claims he “wrote an email” and then woke up casting lightning from his fingertips… another found muttering about “TikTok” while trying to barter WiFi access for bread… and now you."
