02 — COMMERCE
Four rings of storefronts stacked around a light well that runs from the dome straight down to the floor. Nobody agrees on how many shops there actually are — the count seems to change with the light.
LAYOUT
Every ring has a different pace.
The ground ring runs fast — quick bites, gadget stalls, souvenir counters. Climb higher and the pace drops: tailors, jewelers, and shops that don’t post their hours because they’re never really closed.
Ground Ring — The Concourse
Street food, souvenir stalls, and the main thoroughfare everyone passes through at least twice.
The Spiral Tower
A glass elevator core winding through all four rings — half transit, half attraction on its own.
Upper Rings — The Quiet Shops
Slower floors for browsing, custom orders, and the shops that don’t need a sign to find their regulars.
GETTING AROUND
Take the escalator shaft if you’re in a hurry.
A glowing glass shaft cuts diagonally through the light well, moving guests between rings faster than the spiral tower — and with a much better view on the way.
COSMICA
Somewhere off the main road, under two moons. Open daily.
