Simone Karlén never slept in the hours before a flight, and tonight was no different. The Mexico City apartment, a warren of paper and laundry, pulsed under the jaundiced glow of her desk lamp. Sweat pooled in her clavicle. Her phone, three inches from her elbow, vibrated like a persistent insect, dancing over the unpaid gas bill and a colour printout of Tikal’s Temple IV. The desk lamp cast a cone of amber light over the chaos of Simone’s research, academic journals fanned across the surface like scattered cards, photographs curling at their edges, and her own handwritten notes in a cramped multilingual script that even she sometimes struggled to decipher at this hour. Outside her Condesa apartment, Mexico City hummed its midnight song: the distant wail of a siren, the pneumatic hiss of a bus on Avenida Tamaulipas, the muffled bass of cumbia from the bar three floors down. She’d stopped hearing any of it hours ago. Her walls had become a second skin of obsession. Maps of Chiapas overlapped with satellite images of archaeological sites, and enlarged photographs of glyphs, some officially catalogued, others decidedly not, formed a constellation of questions she couldn’t stop asking. Coloured strings connected certain images, creating a web that would look paranoid to anyone who didn’t understand the logic beneath it. But Simone understood. The connections weren’t madness; they were pattern recognition, the same instinct that had made her a journalist rather than an academic, someone who chased truth through jungle rather than footnotes. The laptop screen flickered, and Carlos Alfonso’s face pixelated briefly before resolving into his familiar expression, the one that said he was trying very hard to be patient.
