In 2026, the air in Minneapolis smelled not of pre-rain ozone, but of burnt plastic and anxiety. It was a time when urban architecture began to resemble cages, and the sky a giant screen where projections of the past merged with brutal reality. Alex Pretti, an intensive care nurse, knew the price of life better than most. His days were spent amidst the sterile beep of monitors, while his free hours were gifted to mountain slopes where the wind was clean of propaganda. But [Alex Pretti was shot dead by federal agents](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c20zjyxep99o), and his death became a spark in the dry forest of public anger. Officials claimed self-defense, but Alex's parents called it 'sickening lies.' The streets filled with protesters whose chants [were captured by BBC cameras](https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/c6206p2zyyqo), creating a hum reminiscent of a malfunctioning reactor's vibration. While one part of the world drowned in the chaos of urban clashes, another watched a vertical madness. [Alex Honnold scaled a 101-story skyscraper in Taiwan](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gl0njzxjdo) without any safety gear. He looked like an insect on the glass surface of a colossal monument to capitalism. It was a metaphor for human will refusing to recognize gravity, while political gravity pulled the world back toward a pre-WW2 order. Experts spoke of a [“rupture” with the post-war order](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c99kkerr93ko), where middle powers faced stagnation and democratic trust eroded under the rust of inequality. Far to the east, in Myanmar, [a party backed by generals prepared for a landslide victory](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2l6wg0p8eo) in elections dubbed a sham by the international community. In a country where half the territory is gripped by civil war, a voter's voice weighed less than a rifle's bolt carrier. It was an illusion of choice in a digital matrix where reality is painted with bayonets. Meanwhile, India staged a different performance: the [Republic Day red carpet](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9wxx29yknpo) became a chessboard for new diplomacy, signaling who dictates the rules in this fractured world. Yet even in this iron march, there was a longing for the classics. [Sir Mark Tully, the legendary voice of India](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4nnp4d064do), passed away at 90, taking with him an era when news had the intonation of calm truth rather than hysterical yelling. The world was shifting: from deep analysis to second-long TikTok clips where [cosmetic doctors dissected the looks of stars](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/czx11kw42jeo) like Troye Sivan, only to apologize timidly before the digital mob's wrath. It was a society of spectral values, where the death of a nurse weighed as much as a failed comment on a singer's nose shape. In the Synchronization Point archive, these events wove into a pattern of terminal decay. The video of [Alex Pretti's final seconds](https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/cp372pqq2rlo) was stored on the same server as the footage of Delhi's grand parades and Honnold's record climb. A man who loved mountains died at the hands of the system he tried to heal in the operating rooms. A man who ignored the abyss beneath him became a symbol of courage. And the world continued to spin on its axis, approaching the same finale it had already seen in the middle of the last century. The cycle closed. The old order crumbled into pixels, and in the silence following the explosions in Minneapolis, only the whisper of the mountain wind could be heard, where Alex once felt free.
