The Lantern is the busiest crossing on the frontier, a cathedral of vanes holding a fold open so a whole region can thread home through one lit door. A bombing tears it apart, a crackdown blames a whole movement for one cell's act, the peace talks wobble, and the junction starts to fail under a strain it was never built for. Cross has to keep the door open while the truth, the politics and the physics all give way at once.
