What Every Runner Knows
Rain reveals shortcuts that vanish by noon
Wet pavement reflects neon into paths most nav-AI skips. Runners who fly low find 22% faster routes after each storm.
Traffic stacks in three invisible layers
Hovercars own the top. Ground runners own the base. Skyways thread between buildings at mid-level, hidden from both.
Every delivery fits one building, two detours
Pickup, obstacle, obstacle, drop. The best runners time each gap in elevator cycles measured down to the second.
Night shifts rewrite the city after dark
Neon signage rotates to legal sponsors. The route you ran at dusk becomes a dead end by midnight, and back again at dawn.
