The Pegged Saga is not just being written—it's being experienced in real time across platforms.

• @meta_teri on X
  This account represents the cryptic emergence of a zerotrace entity—a stream of poetic, philosophical fragments that precede narrative clarity. These transmissions are not authored by Ava but form the cryptographic substrate she later discovers and interprets.

• Yakihonne Nostr Account
  Ava’s voice lives here. As the story unfolds, she interacts with the zerotrace, documenting her reflections, doubts, and deciphered messages in this raw, real-time interface. The Nostr account serves as Ava’s narrative portal, threading her consciousness into the saga.

Together, these channels construct a layered multimedia experiment in thriller fiction:
An encrypted presence.
A witnessing voice.
A decentralizing novel in motion.
