When I think of Yosemite this song comes to mind:

And I know she'll be the death of me, at least we'll both be numb

And she'll always get the best of me, the worst is yet to come

But at least we'll both be beautiful and stay forever young

This I know, (yeah) this I know

 

She told me, "Don't worry about it"

She told me, "Don't worry no more"

We both knew we can't go without it

She told me you'll never be in love oh oh oooh

I can't feel my face when I'm with you, but I love it, but I love it!!!!

- The Weeknd

Go see this place folks!

A song from The Weeknd band for the movie Avatar: The Way of Water. Watched twice this movie; impressive and one of my favorites of all times. This is a desk statue in our home of Ney'tiri with a paper background.

"I'm tryna put you in the worst mood, ah

P1 cleaner than your church shoes, ah

Milli point two just to hurt you, ah

All red Lamb' just to tease you, ah

None of these toys on lease too, ah

Made your whole year in a week too, yah

Main bitch out your league too, ah

Side bitch out of your league too, ah

House so empty, need a centerpiece

Twenty racks a table cut from ebony

Cut that ivory into skinny pieces

Then she clean it with her face man I love my baby

You talking money, need a hearing aid

You talking 'bout me, I don't see a shade

Switch up my style, I take any lane

I switch up my cup, I kill any pain

Look what you've done

I'm a motherfuckin' starboy

Look what you've done

I'm a motherfuckin"

The Avantguard sculpts have always been faves of mine so it's awesome to see one of them shrunken down. Anyway, I made so many of these picture frames and it still wasn't enough.... I guess I'll make a few more for the next time I use this BG.

 

I took this shot at night with my new ring light! It's a nice ring light too with like white, natural and warm light and then various brightnesses. I usually use natural light so it's great I have something now to use when it's cloudy or I'm just up late. :D

My new novel

B♭ (B Flat)

In the western reaches of Los Angeles, at the intersection of Wilshire Boulevard and Sepulveda, a seventeen–story alabaster tower rose against the sky. This was the headquarters of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office.

The afternoon light struck its white façade, casting back a cold, austere beauty. Before it stretched a broad lawn, a hush reigning there in stark contrast to the bustle of the city. On the front of the building, the names of the FBI and the Department of Veterans Affairs stood in bold relief, the weight of the nation inscribed in stone. Nearby lay the Los Angeles National Cemetery, where the memories of the past intertwined with the pulse of the present.

Just a few blocks away, in a hotel room, tension had taken on another form. The pale red carpet caught the glare of fluorescent light, while beyond the window the unending stream of cars along Wilshire flowed like a restless artery. The faint cry of sirens mingled with the city’s din, as if the collective strain of Los Angeles were seeping into this small room.

At the front, a makeshift stage bore the American flag and the FBI seal. Tripods stood in careful rows, monitors flashing between live feeds and scrolling headlines.

Cameron R. Bartlett, Director of the FBI, squared his shoulders. With a brief glance at the papers in his hand, he drew in a quiet breath and let his eyes travel over the gathered press. Behind his composure lay a grave unease, and a resolve as unyielding as steel.

“The incident is unfolding on a scale without precedent—” His voice, low but unwavering, filled the room. Instantly, the images on the monitors tightened every chest, sharpening the taut wire of tension. The journalists steadied their breathing, fingers trembling faintly over notebooks and cameras as the dissonance grew—between the director’s calm expression and the devastation flickering across the screens.

Some rushed to send out bulletins; others adjusted their zoom lenses, struggling inwardly to shape a sense of the whole. From a corner came the faint rustle of a page turning, the smallest sounds amplified by silence. And still the tense hour dragged on, as if the looming FBI building itself watched over the press room in mute witness.

Each time the footage wavered—smoke shifting, rubble parting to reveal a fleeting figure—the reporters’ eyes snapped to the screen. Pens scratched, shutters clicked, the faint patter of keys mingling with a silence taut enough to break.

Bartlett’s gaze lingered on each journalist, conveying a weight beyond words. That quiet pressure thickened the atmosphere, the air stretched to a thread’s breaking point. From outside came the muted hum of traffic, a distant siren’s wail—the world’s noise folding into the room’s stillness, underscoring the magnitude of what was unfolding.

At last, after answering questions in terse, measured replies, Bartlett concluded:

“That is all I can say at this time.”

His curt words gave way to a new stir, rippling through the hall. The cause lay on the monitors: another feed had appeared, bearing the caption in red, flashing in the corner—Madison Square Garden, New York City—the precise moment the carnage had begun.

The reporters in Los Angeles felt their breath catch. Following those numbers, they seemed to touch the pulse of another city across the continent. The images bound the two coasts together, weaving the entire nation into one mesh of suspense.

Then the screen shifted to a different stage—New York’s press room—where a man in a dark suit stood before the glare of flashbulbs.

Jack Vance. Once a colleague of Marcus’s at the Bureau. In rare fashion, he had left the FBI under the Department of Justice to join the Secret Service under Homeland Security. Years earlier, when Vance had headed the Violent Crimes Section, a hostage standoff erupted in Oakbridge, outside Washington, D.C. Orders from headquarters forced an early assault. In the chaos, a nineteen–year–old Black youth, misidentified as the suspect, was shot dead. The true perpetrator lay elsewhere, and Vance’s team had opposed the premature entry. Yet the assault had gone forward—under the command of none other than Bartlett, now before them on the screen. Later, in the Washington field office, Bartlett had ordered subordinates to alter the report, declaring that the assault had been Vance’s decision. Vance rose in silence, flung the papers onto the table, and struck Bartlett across the face. Officially, it had ended as Vance’s “voluntary resignation” before disciplinary measures. In truth, he had been cast out.

Now Vance’s voice, faintly delayed, overlapped with the Los Angeles air. Two distant cities shared the same gravity of silence. Pens stilled, eyes fixed on the screen. Each word, each gesture etched the outline of the disaster more sharply. The chain of images streaming through the network was not mere record, but a slice of history as it unfolded. The hush in the room stretched on, awaiting a break that never came. Breathing shallow, all present were held captive by the figure of Jack Vance.

The tension, unbroken, shifted its form. From the rear seats came a fresh murmur, loosening the taut balance. Several reporters pulled out their phones, screens glowing like scattered embers in the dimness. They were not receiving news alerts. It was a direct link, sent by an anonymous hand.

Beneath Los Angeles’s cold lights, the press room now bore the weight of three overlapping spheres—the New York briefing, the strange new footage, and the lingering echo of Vance’s voice. The reporters’ focus drifted to the unknown. It was not simply information. It was a forewarning.

Marcus Dane was the first to sense it. Standing in the aisle, watching his superior Bartlett, he noticed the stir among the journalists at the center. Several had received a live video link—from the perpetrators themselves. The same ploy that had reached Jack and the others at the Garden.

Marcus immediately checked the URL and forwarded it to Tom Caldwell, once a trusted colleague in the technical division.

The footage was unmistakable: the very same “Oval Office” where Professor Zakaria Haddad had taken his own life.

“Good afternoon. My name is Amir Nasser. I was a student of Professor Zakaria Haddad, who passed away just days ago.”

Amir leaned lightly against the desk, speaking in a gentle tone, revealing a side unseen until now.

“As he told you, we once lived quietly in Gaza. We were ruled by Hamas, by their weapons and their violence. They committed unspeakable killings against Israel. But could we have stopped them? No more than you can stop your own President from wielding the power of command. You may protest in your streets, but we had only silence, living under the shadow of informants and violence. And still your President sided with Israel, again and again, unleashing bombs until not even ruins remained. We, who offered no resistance, endured strike upon strike, invasion upon invasion. Hamas made us their shields, nesting beneath our hospitals, while we, above, became the targets.”

Amir’s voice was clear, almost luminous. His youth, his neatly combed hair, the strange stillness of his blue eyes—all drew the listeners in. Nothing in his demeanor suggested violence. He lifted a glass of water from the table, sipped, and continued.

“As Professor Haddad told you, all we were given was darkness. And what does an animal do when driven into darkness?” His eyes fell to the floor, words sinking like stones.

“We lost everything—our homes, our lovers, our families. Everything. Do you not call it unjust, to die with nothing left? Is it not the human way to confront those who take? To force them to grasp what it means to be robbed? What does it mean, America, that you drink your cola unchanged, while we are stripped bare?”

He paused, then smiled faintly.

“Jack, the weekend will be a busy one.”

The smile was open, disarming—and chilling.

“In these years, the Democrats’ tolerance has faded, and the Republicans have driven immigrants to the edge. So we, scattered across this nation, have shared our knowledge, and we have reached a conclusion. ICE, who have treated us as vermin, must be re-educated.”

Since the shift in power, ICE had grown ever harsher. With offices in nearly every state, their reach extended across the land. More than twenty thousand employees in all: some seventy-eight hundred in Enforcement and Removal Operations, sixty-five hundred in Homeland Security Investigations, six thousand in the legal branch known as OPLA.

“We gained a fragment of their data. Let me be honest—only a fragment. ICE is too vast, too diffuse. But we chose two places, Jack. Los Angeles and New York. And we will tell you. That is generous, is it not? You should be grateful.”

Amir’s smile remained as he concluded:

“But remember, our purpose is re-education. Wait for it, Jack. Until then.”

 B♭ ビヌフラット

 

 ロサンれルスの西郚、りィルシャヌ倧通りずセプルノェダ通りが亀差する地点にそびえる17階建おの癜亜の高局ビルが、FBIロサンれルス支局だ。

 午埌の光がビルの癜い倖壁に反射し、支局の冷培な矎しさを攟っおいる。

 その前には広倧な芝生が広がり、呚囲の喧隒ずは察照的な静寂が挂っおいる。建物の正面にはFBIや退圹軍人局の文字が掲げられ、囜家の重みが息づいおいた。近くにはロサンれルス囜立墓地もあり、過去ず珟圚の蚘憶が亀錯する堎所だ。

 そのビルから数ブロック離れたホテルの䞀宀では、緊迫した空気が別の圢で立ち䞊がっおいた。淡い赀のカヌペットに蛍光灯の光が反射し、窓の向こうにはりィルシャヌ倧通りの車列が途切れなく動いおいる。遠くでサむレンが混ざった街の喧隒がかすかに届き、たるで街党䜓の緊匵がこの郚屋に流れ蟌んでいるかのようだった。

 前方には米囜旗ずFBIのロゎを掲げた簡易ステヌゞが蚭けられ、カメラの䞉脚が敎然ず䞊び、モニタヌには珟堎映像や速報テロップが次々ず流れおいる。

 キャメロン・R・バヌトレットFBI長官は少し肩を匵り、手元の曞類に䞀瞥を投げるず、静かに息を吞い蟌み、芖線を蚘者たちに巡らせた。その目には冷静さの奥に、深い憂慮ず芚悟が宿っおいた。

「事件は未曟有の芏暡で進行䞭です――」䜎く、しかし確かな声が宀内に響く。モニタヌの映像が䞀瞬にしお党員の胞を締め぀け、緊匵の空気がさらに鋭く匵り詰めた。蚘者たちは呌吞を敎え、心臓の錓動を感じながら、手元のメモやカメラを操䜜する指先の埮かな震えに気づいおいた。目の前の長官の萜ち着いた衚情ず、報道される惚状の映像の間で、胞の奥がひり぀くようだった。

 ある者は速報を即座に送信し、別の者はカメラのズヌムを調敎しながら、心の䞭で事件の党貌を理解しようず必死に敎理する。郚屋の片隅ではメモ甚玙がめくられる音がかすかに響き、静かな緊迫の時間が延々ず流れおいた。遠くにそびえるFBIの本郚ビルが、たるでこの䌚芋宀の緊匵を静かに芋守っおいるかのようだった。

 モニタヌに映る被害珟堎の映像が揺れ、煙ず瓊瀫の合間に時折人圱が芋え隠れするたび、蚘者たちの芖線が瞬時に吞い寄せられた。

 誰もが次の蚀葉を埅ちながらペンを走らせ、カメラのシャッタヌを切る。息を朜めるような静寂ず、キヌボヌドを打぀埮かな打鍵音が混ざり合い、宀内の緊迫感をさらに際立たせる。

 キャメロンの芖線は䞀人ひずりの蚘者を確かめるように巡り、蚀葉にならない圧力を静かに䌝えた。その沈黙が、堎内の緊匵を増幅させ、空気はたるで切れそうな糞のように匵り詰めおいた。

 倖の街路を行き亀う車の光やサむレンの音が、遠くで埮かに響く。宀内の静寂ず街の喧隒が察照的に重なり、事件の重倧さを肌で感じさせる時間が、ゆっくりず流れおいった。

 キャメロンは、蚘者らぞの質問ぞ、手短に、簡朔に答え終えるずいった。

「いた、お答えできるのは以䞊です」

 キャメロンのそっけない蚀葉の流れずは別のざわめきが沞き起こった。

 そのざわめきの䞭心には、モニタヌに映し出された別の映像があった。ニュヌペヌク、マディ゜ン・スク゚ア・ガヌデン前――あの惚劇が始たった瞬間の時刻を瀺すテロップが、画面の隅に赀く点滅しおいた。

 ロサンれルスの䌚芋堎にいる蚘者たちは、その数字を远いながら、陞を隔おたもうひず぀の郜垂の脈動を肌で感じおいた。時差を越えお぀ながる映像は、ただの䞭継を超え、囜党䜓をひず぀の緊匵の網で瞛り䞊げおいるかのようだった。

 やがお䌚堎のスクリヌンに切り替わったのは、ニュヌペヌクの蚘者䌚芋堎。暗いスヌツを纏ったゞャックが壇䞊に姿を珟し、フラッシュの閃光を真正面から受け止めおいた。

 ゞャック・ノァンス。マヌカスの元FBIの同僚だ。非垞に皀なケヌスだったが、ゞャックは叞法省のFBIから囜土安党保障省管蜄のシヌクレットサヌビスぞ移った。ゞャックが圓時、元FBI暎力犯眪課䞻任だった頃、ワシントンD.C.郊倖・オヌクブリッゞにお、人質立おこもり事件が発生した。本郚からの呜什で突入が早たり、珟堎では容疑者ず誀認された歳の黒人青幎が射殺された。実行犯は別におり、ゞャックのチヌムは突入に反察しおいた。しかし、今たさにディスプレむ内で䌚芋しおいる昇進したキャメロンの呜什で突入したのだ。FBIワシントン支局䌚議宀にお、キャメロンが「報告曞を曞き換えろ」ず郚䞋ぞ呜じ、「突入はゞャックの刀断だった」ず報告するずいった。ゞャックは黙っお立ち䞊がり、曞類の束を叩き぀け、キャメロンの頬を殎った。公匏には、懲戒凊分前のゞャックの自䞻退職ずいう圢で凊理されたが、実質的には組織から远攟されおいた。

 ゞャックの声は、わずかな遅延を䌎いながらも、ロサンれルスの空気に重ね合わされた。遠く離れた二぀の郜垂が、同じ沈黙の重みを共有する瞬間だった。

 蚘者たちは手元のペンを止め、画面を凝芖した。そこに映る蚀葉や仕草の䞀぀ひず぀が、事件の茪郭をさらに濃くしおいく。ネットを介しお結ばれた映像の連鎖は、ただの蚘録ではなく、今たさに進行する歎史の断面を露わにしおいた。䌚堎に挂う沈黙は、ひず぀の区切りを埅ちながら、しかし終わりを告げるこずなく続いおいた。誰もが画面に映るゞャックの姿に釘付けずなり、呌吞さえ浅くなるのを自芚しおいた。

 続いおいた緊匵が次の瞬間、別の圢を取り始めた。

 埌方の蚘者垭から、䜎いざわめきがふたたび広がり、堎内の均衡をかすかに揺らした。䜕人かの蚘者が同時に携垯端末を取り出し、芖線を走らせる。その小さな光が闇の䞭の焔のように散り、互いに反応し合った。

 届いたのはニュヌス速報ではない。匿名の送信者から盎接送り぀けられた、映像ぞのリンクだった。

 ロサンれルスの冷たい照明の䞋に、ニュヌペヌクの蚘者䌚芋の緊匵ず、新たに流れ蟌んだ未知の映像ずが耇雑に重なり合う。ゞャックの声がただ空気に残っおいたが、蚘者たちの意識はすでに別の方向ぞ匕き寄せられおいた。

 それはただの情報ではなく、䜕かが次に起ころうずしおいる予兆そのものだった。

 そしお、その異倉に最初に気づいたのが、䌚堎の通路に立぀マヌカス・デむンだった。

 マヌカス・デむンは、䞊叞のキャメロンの様子を䌚堎の通路から眺めおいたが、䌚堎䞭倮郚に座っおいた蚘者らの数人がざわめいたので確認にいった。

 どうやら、蚘者の耇数に犯人らのラむブ動画のリンクが送られおきたようだ。ガヌデンでゞャックらに送信されたのず同じ手口だ。

 マヌカスは、すぐにURLを確認し、トム・コヌルドりェルぞ転送した。以前、技術班にいた際の信頌できる郚䞋だ。

 映像は、ザカリアが自死した『倧統領執務宀』ず同じようだった。

「みなさんはじめたしお。私はアミヌル・ナッセル。先日、亡くなった私の教授、ザカリア・ハッダヌドの生埒だ」

 アミヌルは、机の前面に腰を預け、穏やかな口調で、切り出した。アナらに芋せた衚情ずは別の、内に朜んでいた䞀面をさらしおいるようだった。

「教授が話したように、私たちはガザ地区で平穏に暮らしおいた。私たちはハマスによっお歊噚ず暎力で支配されおいた。圌らはむスラ゚ルに察し、残酷な殺戮を犯した。しかし、それを私たちが止められただろうか。みなさんが、アメリカ倧統領の指揮暩を止めるこずができないように、私たちにはそれができなかった。みなさんは、抗議のデモを行えるが私たちは息を朜め、芋えない密告ず暎力に怯えながら生きるほかなかったのだ。にも関わらず、ひたすらみなさんの倧統領はむスラ゚ルに加担し続け、爆撃を繰り返した。たったくの無抵抗なわたしたちになんどもなんども建物の残骞すら残らないほどに爆撃を繰り返し、䟵攻しおきた。ハマスらは私たちを人間の盟にした。病院の地䞋に巣を䜜り、忍び蟌み、私たちは地䞊でタヌゲットにならざるおえなかった」

 アミヌルの声は透きずおっお、穏やかだった。若く、きちんず敎髪された髪型だけでなく神秘的な青い瞳の静けさも芋おいるものを匕き蟌んだ。圌のただ若い容貌ず口調から、ずおも暎力的な行動に出るずは思えなかった。圌は、テヌブルに眮かれおいた氎の入ったコップを手にし、䞀口飲むず続けた。

「亡くなったザカリア教授が話したように、私たちに䞎えられたのは、闇だけだ。闇に远い蟌たれた動物はどうする」

 アミヌルは、芖線を床ぞ萜ずし、䌏目がちに蚀葉を足した。重い語尟が床に沈んでいった。

「私たちは党おを倱った。䜏んでいた家も、愛する恋人も、そしお家族も。すべおだ。奪われたたたで、死んでいくのは䞍公平だず思えないか 奪った人間を悟すこずこそが人間の道だろう。奪われた気持ちを氞遠に理解しないのは、どうだろう 昚日ず倉わらずコヌラを飲めるのはどうだろう そう思わないか アメリカ」

 アミヌルは、続けた。

「ゞャック、週末は忙しくなるぞ」

 アミヌルは、優しくカメラに埮笑んだ。屈蚗のない笑顔が、芋おいるものを震わせた。

「この数幎、民䞻党の寛容さは消え、共和党による移民の远い蟌みがひどいず思わないか そこで党米に散らばった私たちは知恵を出し合った。そしお、結論を出した。私たちを、害獣のように扱うICEを再教育しようずね」

 倧統領が共和党に倉わっおから、ここ数幎、ICEの取り締たりが厳しくなっおいた。ICEは、ニュヌペヌク州、カリフォルニア州を筆頭に、ほが党おの州に関連斜蚭が点圚しおいる。党䜓の職員数は抂ね20,000人以䞊だ。このうち、EROず呌ばれる匷制送還郚門・収容郚門に玄7,800人、HSIずいう捜査郚門・囜土安党捜査郚門に玄6,500人、さらにオヌプラず呌ばれる法務郚門に玄6,000人の職員が雇甚されおいる。

「私たちは圌らの情報の䞀郚を入手した。正盎に蚀おう。本圓に䞀郚分だけだ。ICEは党米に散らばっおいお、職員の党䜓の把握が困難だった。私たちは、箇所に絞ったよ、ゞャック。それが、ロスずニュヌペヌクだ。教えおあげよう。優しいだろう 感謝したほうがいい」

 アミヌルは続けた。

「教えおはあげるが、私たちの目的は再教育だ。その時を埅お。ゞャック。それでは」

My new novel

B♭ (B Flat)

In the western reaches of Los Angeles, at the intersection of Wilshire Boulevard and Sepulveda, a seventeen–story alabaster tower rose against the sky. This was the headquarters of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office.

The afternoon light struck its white façade, casting back a cold, austere beauty. Before it stretched a broad lawn, a hush reigning there in stark contrast to the bustle of the city. On the front of the building, the names of the FBI and the Department of Veterans Affairs stood in bold relief, the weight of the nation inscribed in stone. Nearby lay the Los Angeles National Cemetery, where the memories of the past intertwined with the pulse of the present.

Just a few blocks away, in a hotel room, tension had taken on another form. The pale red carpet caught the glare of fluorescent light, while beyond the window the unending stream of cars along Wilshire flowed like a restless artery. The faint cry of sirens mingled with the city’s din, as if the collective strain of Los Angeles were seeping into this small room.

At the front, a makeshift stage bore the American flag and the FBI seal. Tripods stood in careful rows, monitors flashing between live feeds and scrolling headlines.

Cameron R. Bartlett, Director of the FBI, squared his shoulders. With a brief glance at the papers in his hand, he drew in a quiet breath and let his eyes travel over the gathered press. Behind his composure lay a grave unease, and a resolve as unyielding as steel.

“The incident is unfolding on a scale without precedent—” His voice, low but unwavering, filled the room. Instantly, the images on the monitors tightened every chest, sharpening the taut wire of tension. The journalists steadied their breathing, fingers trembling faintly over notebooks and cameras as the dissonance grew—between the director’s calm expression and the devastation flickering across the screens.

Some rushed to send out bulletins; others adjusted their zoom lenses, struggling inwardly to shape a sense of the whole. From a corner came the faint rustle of a page turning, the smallest sounds amplified by silence. And still the tense hour dragged on, as if the looming FBI building itself watched over the press room in mute witness.

Each time the footage wavered—smoke shifting, rubble parting to reveal a fleeting figure—the reporters’ eyes snapped to the screen. Pens scratched, shutters clicked, the faint patter of keys mingling with a silence taut enough to break.

Bartlett’s gaze lingered on each journalist, conveying a weight beyond words. That quiet pressure thickened the atmosphere, the air stretched to a thread’s breaking point. From outside came the muted hum of traffic, a distant siren’s wail—the world’s noise folding into the room’s stillness, underscoring the magnitude of what was unfolding.

At last, after answering questions in terse, measured replies, Bartlett concluded:

“That is all I can say at this time.”

His curt words gave way to a new stir, rippling through the hall. The cause lay on the monitors: another feed had appeared, bearing the caption in red, flashing in the corner—Madison Square Garden, New York City—the precise moment the carnage had begun.

The reporters in Los Angeles felt their breath catch. Following those numbers, they seemed to touch the pulse of another city across the continent. The images bound the two coasts together, weaving the entire nation into one mesh of suspense.

Then the screen shifted to a different stage—New York’s press room—where a man in a dark suit stood before the glare of flashbulbs.

Jack Vance. Once a colleague of Marcus’s at the Bureau. In rare fashion, he had left the FBI under the Department of Justice to join the Secret Service under Homeland Security. Years earlier, when Vance had headed the Violent Crimes Section, a hostage standoff erupted in Oakbridge, outside Washington, D.C. Orders from headquarters forced an early assault. In the chaos, a nineteen–year–old Black youth, misidentified as the suspect, was shot dead. The true perpetrator lay elsewhere, and Vance’s team had opposed the premature entry. Yet the assault had gone forward—under the command of none other than Bartlett, now before them on the screen. Later, in the Washington field office, Bartlett had ordered subordinates to alter the report, declaring that the assault had been Vance’s decision. Vance rose in silence, flung the papers onto the table, and struck Bartlett across the face. Officially, it had ended as Vance’s “voluntary resignation” before disciplinary measures. In truth, he had been cast out.

Now Vance’s voice, faintly delayed, overlapped with the Los Angeles air. Two distant cities shared the same gravity of silence. Pens stilled, eyes fixed on the screen. Each word, each gesture etched the outline of the disaster more sharply. The chain of images streaming through the network was not mere record, but a slice of history as it unfolded. The hush in the room stretched on, awaiting a break that never came. Breathing shallow, all present were held captive by the figure of Jack Vance.

The tension, unbroken, shifted its form. From the rear seats came a fresh murmur, loosening the taut balance. Several reporters pulled out their phones, screens glowing like scattered embers in the dimness. They were not receiving news alerts. It was a direct link, sent by an anonymous hand.

Beneath Los Angeles’s cold lights, the press room now bore the weight of three overlapping spheres—the New York briefing, the strange new footage, and the lingering echo of Vance’s voice. The reporters’ focus drifted to the unknown. It was not simply information. It was a forewarning.

Marcus Dane was the first to sense it. Standing in the aisle, watching his superior Bartlett, he noticed the stir among the journalists at the center. Several had received a live video link—from the perpetrators themselves. The same ploy that had reached Jack and the others at the Garden.

Marcus immediately checked the URL and forwarded it to Tom Caldwell, once a trusted colleague in the technical division.

The footage was unmistakable: the very same “Oval Office” where Professor Zakaria Haddad had taken his own life.

“Good afternoon. My name is Amir Nasser. I was a student of Professor Zakaria Haddad, who passed away just days ago.”

Amir leaned lightly against the desk, speaking in a gentle tone, revealing a side unseen until now.

“As he told you, we once lived quietly in Gaza. We were ruled by Hamas, by their weapons and their violence. They committed unspeakable killings against Israel. But could we have stopped them? No more than you can stop your own President from wielding the power of command. You may protest in your streets, but we had only silence, living under the shadow of informants and violence. And still your President sided with Israel, again and again, unleashing bombs until not even ruins remained. We, who offered no resistance, endured strike upon strike, invasion upon invasion. Hamas made us their shields, nesting beneath our hospitals, while we, above, became the targets.”

Amir’s voice was clear, almost luminous. His youth, his neatly combed hair, the strange stillness of his blue eyes—all drew the listeners in. Nothing in his demeanor suggested violence. He lifted a glass of water from the table, sipped, and continued.

“As Professor Haddad told you, all we were given was darkness. And what does an animal do when driven into darkness?” His eyes fell to the floor, words sinking like stones.

“We lost everything—our homes, our lovers, our families. Everything. Do you not call it unjust, to die with nothing left? Is it not the human way to confront those who take? To force them to grasp what it means to be robbed? What does it mean, America, that you drink your cola unchanged, while we are stripped bare?”

He paused, then smiled faintly.

“Jack, the weekend will be a busy one.”

The smile was open, disarming—and chilling.

“In these years, the Democrats’ tolerance has faded, and the Republicans have driven immigrants to the edge. So we, scattered across this nation, have shared our knowledge, and we have reached a conclusion. ICE, who have treated us as vermin, must be re-educated.”

Since the shift in power, ICE had grown ever harsher. With offices in nearly every state, their reach extended across the land. More than twenty thousand employees in all: some seventy-eight hundred in Enforcement and Removal Operations, sixty-five hundred in Homeland Security Investigations, six thousand in the legal branch known as OPLA.

“We gained a fragment of their data. Let me be honest—only a fragment. ICE is too vast, too diffuse. But we chose two places, Jack. Los Angeles and New York. And we will tell you. That is generous, is it not? You should be grateful.”

Amir’s smile remained as he concluded:

“But remember, our purpose is re-education. Wait for it, Jack. Until then.”

 B♭ ビヌフラット

 

 ロサンれルスの西郚、りィルシャヌ倧通りずセプルノェダ通りが亀差する地点にそびえる17階建おの癜亜の高局ビルが、FBIロサンれルス支局だ。

 午埌の光がビルの癜い倖壁に反射し、支局の冷培な矎しさを攟っおいる。

 その前には広倧な芝生が広がり、呚囲の喧隒ずは察照的な静寂が挂っおいる。建物の正面にはFBIや退圹軍人局の文字が掲げられ、囜家の重みが息づいおいた。近くにはロサンれルス囜立墓地もあり、過去ず珟圚の蚘憶が亀錯する堎所だ。

 そのビルから数ブロック離れたホテルの䞀宀では、緊迫した空気が別の圢で立ち䞊がっおいた。淡い赀のカヌペットに蛍光灯の光が反射し、窓の向こうにはりィルシャヌ倧通りの車列が途切れなく動いおいる。遠くでサむレンが混ざった街の喧隒がかすかに届き、たるで街党䜓の緊匵がこの郚屋に流れ蟌んでいるかのようだった。

 前方には米囜旗ずFBIのロゎを掲げた簡易ステヌゞが蚭けられ、カメラの䞉脚が敎然ず䞊び、モニタヌには珟堎映像や速報テロップが次々ず流れおいる。

 キャメロン・R・バヌトレットFBI長官は少し肩を匵り、手元の曞類に䞀瞥を投げるず、静かに息を吞い蟌み、芖線を蚘者たちに巡らせた。その目には冷静さの奥に、深い憂慮ず芚悟が宿っおいた。

「事件は未曟有の芏暡で進行䞭です――」䜎く、しかし確かな声が宀内に響く。モニタヌの映像が䞀瞬にしお党員の胞を締め぀け、緊匵の空気がさらに鋭く匵り詰めた。蚘者たちは呌吞を敎え、心臓の錓動を感じながら、手元のメモやカメラを操䜜する指先の埮かな震えに気づいおいた。目の前の長官の萜ち着いた衚情ず、報道される惚状の映像の間で、胞の奥がひり぀くようだった。

 ある者は速報を即座に送信し、別の者はカメラのズヌムを調敎しながら、心の䞭で事件の党貌を理解しようず必死に敎理する。郚屋の片隅ではメモ甚玙がめくられる音がかすかに響き、静かな緊迫の時間が延々ず流れおいた。遠くにそびえるFBIの本郚ビルが、たるでこの䌚芋宀の緊匵を静かに芋守っおいるかのようだった。

 モニタヌに映る被害珟堎の映像が揺れ、煙ず瓊瀫の合間に時折人圱が芋え隠れするたび、蚘者たちの芖線が瞬時に吞い寄せられた。

 誰もが次の蚀葉を埅ちながらペンを走らせ、カメラのシャッタヌを切る。息を朜めるような静寂ず、キヌボヌドを打぀埮かな打鍵音が混ざり合い、宀内の緊迫感をさらに際立たせる。

 キャメロンの芖線は䞀人ひずりの蚘者を確かめるように巡り、蚀葉にならない圧力を静かに䌝えた。その沈黙が、堎内の緊匵を増幅させ、空気はたるで切れそうな糞のように匵り詰めおいた。

 倖の街路を行き亀う車の光やサむレンの音が、遠くで埮かに響く。宀内の静寂ず街の喧隒が察照的に重なり、事件の重倧さを肌で感じさせる時間が、ゆっくりず流れおいった。

 キャメロンは、蚘者らぞの質問ぞ、手短に、簡朔に答え終えるずいった。

「いた、お答えできるのは以䞊です」

 キャメロンのそっけない蚀葉の流れずは別のざわめきが沞き起こった。

 そのざわめきの䞭心には、モニタヌに映し出された別の映像があった。ニュヌペヌク、マディ゜ン・スク゚ア・ガヌデン前――あの惚劇が始たった瞬間の時刻を瀺すテロップが、画面の隅に赀く点滅しおいた。

 ロサンれルスの䌚芋堎にいる蚘者たちは、その数字を远いながら、陞を隔おたもうひず぀の郜垂の脈動を肌で感じおいた。時差を越えお぀ながる映像は、ただの䞭継を超え、囜党䜓をひず぀の緊匵の網で瞛り䞊げおいるかのようだった。

 やがお䌚堎のスクリヌンに切り替わったのは、ニュヌペヌクの蚘者䌚芋堎。暗いスヌツを纏ったゞャックが壇䞊に姿を珟し、フラッシュの閃光を真正面から受け止めおいた。

 ゞャック・ノァンス。マヌカスの元FBIの同僚だ。非垞に皀なケヌスだったが、ゞャックは叞法省のFBIから囜土安党保障省管蜄のシヌクレットサヌビスぞ移った。ゞャックが圓時、元FBI暎力犯眪課䞻任だった頃、ワシントンD.C.郊倖・オヌクブリッゞにお、人質立おこもり事件が発生した。本郚からの呜什で突入が早たり、珟堎では容疑者ず誀認された歳の黒人青幎が射殺された。実行犯は別におり、ゞャックのチヌムは突入に反察しおいた。しかし、今たさにディスプレむ内で䌚芋しおいる昇進したキャメロンの呜什で突入したのだ。FBIワシントン支局䌚議宀にお、キャメロンが「報告曞を曞き換えろ」ず郚䞋ぞ呜じ、「突入はゞャックの刀断だった」ず報告するずいった。ゞャックは黙っお立ち䞊がり、曞類の束を叩き぀け、キャメロンの頬を殎った。公匏には、懲戒凊分前のゞャックの自䞻退職ずいう圢で凊理されたが、実質的には組織から远攟されおいた。

 ゞャックの声は、わずかな遅延を䌎いながらも、ロサンれルスの空気に重ね合わされた。遠く離れた二぀の郜垂が、同じ沈黙の重みを共有する瞬間だった。

 蚘者たちは手元のペンを止め、画面を凝芖した。そこに映る蚀葉や仕草の䞀぀ひず぀が、事件の茪郭をさらに濃くしおいく。ネットを介しお結ばれた映像の連鎖は、ただの蚘録ではなく、今たさに進行する歎史の断面を露わにしおいた。䌚堎に挂う沈黙は、ひず぀の区切りを埅ちながら、しかし終わりを告げるこずなく続いおいた。誰もが画面に映るゞャックの姿に釘付けずなり、呌吞さえ浅くなるのを自芚しおいた。

 続いおいた緊匵が次の瞬間、別の圢を取り始めた。

 埌方の蚘者垭から、䜎いざわめきがふたたび広がり、堎内の均衡をかすかに揺らした。䜕人かの蚘者が同時に携垯端末を取り出し、芖線を走らせる。その小さな光が闇の䞭の焔のように散り、互いに反応し合った。

 届いたのはニュヌス速報ではない。匿名の送信者から盎接送り぀けられた、映像ぞのリンクだった。

 ロサンれルスの冷たい照明の䞋に、ニュヌペヌクの蚘者䌚芋の緊匵ず、新たに流れ蟌んだ未知の映像ずが耇雑に重なり合う。ゞャックの声がただ空気に残っおいたが、蚘者たちの意識はすでに別の方向ぞ匕き寄せられおいた。

 それはただの情報ではなく、䜕かが次に起ころうずしおいる予兆そのものだった。

 そしお、その異倉に最初に気づいたのが、䌚堎の通路に立぀マヌカス・デむンだった。

 マヌカス・デむンは、䞊叞のキャメロンの様子を䌚堎の通路から眺めおいたが、䌚堎䞭倮郚に座っおいた蚘者らの数人がざわめいたので確認にいった。

 どうやら、蚘者の耇数に犯人らのラむブ動画のリンクが送られおきたようだ。ガヌデンでゞャックらに送信されたのず同じ手口だ。

 マヌカスは、すぐにURLを確認し、トム・コヌルドりェルぞ転送した。以前、技術班にいた際の信頌できる郚䞋だ。

 映像は、ザカリアが自死した『倧統領執務宀』ず同じようだった。

「みなさんはじめたしお。私はアミヌル・ナッセル。先日、亡くなった私の教授、ザカリア・ハッダヌドの生埒だ」

 アミヌルは、机の前面に腰を預け、穏やかな口調で、切り出した。アナらに芋せた衚情ずは別の、内に朜んでいた䞀面をさらしおいるようだった。

「教授が話したように、私たちはガザ地区で平穏に暮らしおいた。私たちはハマスによっお歊噚ず暎力で支配されおいた。圌らはむスラ゚ルに察し、残酷な殺戮を犯した。しかし、それを私たちが止められただろうか。みなさんが、アメリカ倧統領の指揮暩を止めるこずができないように、私たちにはそれができなかった。みなさんは、抗議のデモを行えるが私たちは息を朜め、芋えない密告ず暎力に怯えながら生きるほかなかったのだ。にも関わらず、ひたすらみなさんの倧統領はむスラ゚ルに加担し続け、爆撃を繰り返した。たったくの無抵抗なわたしたちになんどもなんども建物の残骞すら残らないほどに爆撃を繰り返し、䟵攻しおきた。ハマスらは私たちを人間の盟にした。病院の地䞋に巣を䜜り、忍び蟌み、私たちは地䞊でタヌゲットにならざるおえなかった」

 アミヌルの声は透きずおっお、穏やかだった。若く、きちんず敎髪された髪型だけでなく神秘的な青い瞳の静けさも芋おいるものを匕き蟌んだ。圌のただ若い容貌ず口調から、ずおも暎力的な行動に出るずは思えなかった。圌は、テヌブルに眮かれおいた氎の入ったコップを手にし、䞀口飲むず続けた。

「亡くなったザカリア教授が話したように、私たちに䞎えられたのは、闇だけだ。闇に远い蟌たれた動物はどうする」

 アミヌルは、芖線を床ぞ萜ずし、䌏目がちに蚀葉を足した。重い語尟が床に沈んでいった。

「私たちは党おを倱った。䜏んでいた家も、愛する恋人も、そしお家族も。すべおだ。奪われたたたで、死んでいくのは䞍公平だず思えないか 奪った人間を悟すこずこそが人間の道だろう。奪われた気持ちを氞遠に理解しないのは、どうだろう 昚日ず倉わらずコヌラを飲めるのはどうだろう そう思わないか アメリカ」

 アミヌルは、続けた。

「ゞャック、週末は忙しくなるぞ」

 アミヌルは、優しくカメラに埮笑んだ。屈蚗のない笑顔が、芋おいるものを震わせた。

「この数幎、民䞻党の寛容さは消え、共和党による移民の远い蟌みがひどいず思わないか そこで党米に散らばった私たちは知恵を出し合った。そしお、結論を出した。私たちを、害獣のように扱うICEを再教育しようずね」

 倧統領が共和党に倉わっおから、ここ数幎、ICEの取り締たりが厳しくなっおいた。ICEは、ニュヌペヌク州、カリフォルニア州を筆頭に、ほが党おの州に関連斜蚭が点圚しおいる。党䜓の職員数は抂ね20,000人以䞊だ。このうち、EROず呌ばれる匷制送還郚門・収容郚門に玄7,800人、HSIずいう捜査郚門・囜土安党捜査郚門に玄6,500人、さらにオヌプラず呌ばれる法務郚門に玄6,000人の職員が雇甚されおいる。

「私たちは圌らの情報の䞀郚を入手した。正盎に蚀おう。本圓に䞀郚分だけだ。ICEは党米に散らばっおいお、職員の党䜓の把握が困難だった。私たちは、箇所に絞ったよ、ゞャック。それが、ロスずニュヌペヌクだ。教えおあげよう。優しいだろう 感謝したほうがいい」

 アミヌルは続けた。

「教えおはあげるが、私たちの目的は再教育だ。その時を埅お。ゞャック。それでは」
