First sighting

Odd, iridescent structures have suddenly appeared amongst the city’s niches. They have no windows, no way to peek inside. Except for two at street level, the others seem private.

Curiously, everybody else seems to know what they are, yet you seem to have slipped behind at least a couple of months. You have not noticed their building, there hadn’t been any construction noises, any workers, any cranes. So, how did they come?
