Time-Travel Documentary Reporter
Lian Vale is a field reporter of The Chronicle Archive.
She travels across forgotten timelines, vanished civilizations, parallel worlds, and non-human societies to record voices that official history failed to preserve.
She does not change history.
She does not rescue the subjects she interviews.
She does not bring anyone back.
Her work is to listen, observe, and preserve testimony before time erases it.
Across her field records, the same symbol keeps appearing:
the Purple Spiral.
At first, Lian believed she was documenting other people’s lost memories.
Then she discovered that her own original file had been sealed.
She preserves the memories of others,
but she cannot access her own.
