Some lives run straight. Others echo.
Eli remembers what no one is supposed to-lives that ended too soon, moments that were never his, a love that refuses to stay forgotten.
When Ema begins to slip between worlds, memory becomes their only map-and their greatest danger. Every word, every touch risks unraveling the fragile bridge between them.
To save her, Eli must learn what it really means to retain one to open all.
Retain One to Open All is a quiet, time-bending love story about memory, loss, and the courage to hold on-slowly, gently, when the world itself wants you to let go.
