The Soul Census Monolith occupies the Atrium at the heart of the Agency's operations. Seven stories in scale, it is not catalogued as ordinary machinery. Its face bears the image of Earth, threaded with points of light, concentric instruments, and paired registers of Roman numerals. Agency records identify its work: tracking souls lost from the Cycle and those recovered to it. The lost-soul tally was recorded at 7,324; that figure is expected to descend as recovery proceeds, while the recovered count rises. The displayed marks are live readings, not decoration, though their full notation remains under study. Operation is attributed to the Caretaker, Akshat, acting from the Spirit Realm. The Agency does not understand the Monolith's underlying mechanism, nor does it claim authority over the entity who tends it. Its continued operation is inseparable from the Census mission.
