'''What is this place?'''

After 21 began as an encyclopedia — the kind of reference a resident of this world might actually read. Every article is written as if the events, people, and places are real, documented straight-faced from within the fiction. No "this is a story" disclaimers, no author looking over your shoulder. Just the record, as it stands.

Somewhere along the way it became something more. This is also where '''Aobaom''' dumps creative work: stories, worldbuilding, half-finished ideas, characters, drawings, and whatever else refuses to stay in a notebook. Part in-universe archive, part open studio.

If a page reads like it believes itself, that's on purpose.
