Locate the seam in the eastern wall. It is not made of steel, but of memory. Elias walked to the cold metal wall. He pressed his hand against it, thinking of the smell of rain—a sensation he’d only read about. Under his palm, the steel softened like wax. But "Come Home" was a legend—a whispered rumor
