The face had already begun to lose its coherence at the edges, softening, the nanomachine slurry finding the path of least resistance through cartilage and artificial synthetic collage. C.Y.L.A.M's own features split open at the jaw — wide, wider — and accepted the offering. Closed.

The floors finished their work.
