DEDICATION

For the counters-

the ones who track every box, every pallet, every shipment,

who know what arrived at three a.m. and where it went by five,

who count everything in the warehouse except themselves.

This ledger is for you.

PREVIOUSLY IN GRAVEYARD SHIFT ACADEMY

Five children of night-shift workers discovered the Graveyard Shift Academy underground. Miles became the Engine Room's keeper after fighting deferred maintenance. Esperanza became the Healing Ward's keeper after launching the Night Watch Clinic. Kwame became the Map Room's keeper after saving the 40 bus route. Throughout every fight, Jin Chen has been the crew's data analyst-the one who counted the things that mattered, who built the cases, who turned stories into numbers and numbers into leverage. New students Leo, Nia, and Elijah joined the Academy. But Jin's own corridor-the Warehouse of Memory-has been waiting for its keeper to face the one fight that only a counter can win.

This is Jin's story.
