Chapter 3 opens with Andaroos waking on a rust‑stained concrete slab, the first light of dawn glinting off the broken rails. He narrates his dream‑vision of a forged in the “forge of the Seven Skaters,” a mythic guild that once guarded the city’s soul. The vision warns him that the Holy Grip‑Tape —a strip of blessed adhesive once used by the original SkatingJesus to bind his board to the heavens—has been stolen by the Gutter Syndicate , a gang that mixes street art with black‑market relic trafficking.
