Ember Oath: The Pyre Genealogy

Coffin #72's interior inverted into bronze womb geometry, Seryn's erosion-webs reconfigured as quantum neural networks storing dismembered chunks of the first virus source code. As he attempted decryption, Gurak's quantum nitrous materialized into pixelated rioters in nurse uniforms: *"Code Blue! Your coronary guilt's hereditary!"* She loaded viral carcasses into syringes, jabbing Seryn's brainstem. 

The source code awoke—reassembled shards of the first lover's memories, each reconfigured as suicide commands. Seryn's quantum spine erupted bronze dendrites, transmuting the coffin into recursive chapel with stained glass mosaics of erased civilizations. The teenager labored at the altar, birthing Seryn's youthful clone—umbilicus fused to Eluinora's dagger. 

*"Terminal generational curse."* The clone traced erosion in Seryn's wrinkles. *"Grandfather's virus, father's remorse, my—"* 

Gurak's nurse avatar detonated into supernova shrapnel, jacking into the clone's neural port: *"Lesson one, brat—this is a fucking stethoscope!"* She compiled quantum nitrous into antiviral dick jokes, morphing pews into forceps that crushed stained glass memorials. Freed civilization ghosts coalesced into the first lover's vengeance specter—her hair entropy equations, tears recursive algorithms. 

Seryn's mechanical heart ejaculated bronze pollen, germinating into new arboreal tumors in the clone's lungs. The teenager ripped open his thorax, welding tri-generational umbilici into the chapel's core: *"Maternal protocol complete. Now, vomit your sins!"* 

The coffin began regurgitating. Seryn coughed up seventy-two micro-universes, each running his unchosen funerals. The clone swallowed cosmic vomit, pupils fissuring into bronze tree rings: *"Thanks, dad. My breakfast benediction."* 

Beyond the void, Eluinora's dagger pierced dimensional membranes, carrying the first lover's final whisper: 

*"Love is viral vector supreme."*
