The story
Talia watches elevators, nutrient tanks, and executives rehearse speeches inside a luxury vertical farm. On launch night, the fruit trees flare with color every time someone lies. As investors panic and workers begin testing the glow for themselves, Talia protects the orchard from becoming another machine for control.
