Everyone has a thread. Most people never see it snap. Alejandro watched his brother's break-and now someone else's is unraveling fast.
In a city where every person is tethered to life by a visible thread of light, Alejandro knows the rules: keep your thread close, stay invisible, and never, ever get entangled.
But when he notices a stranger whose thread flickers with decay-fraying, spasming, barely holding-something changes. Against every instinct, Alejandro's own thread begins to reach out, defying the laws the Authority claims are absolute. The boy's name is Gerald, and whatever is happening to him isn't just rare-it's forbidden.
As their connection deepens, Alejandro and Gerald find themselves drawn into an underground world of broken threads, desperate fixes, and dangerous rituals. In this world, fading isn't just a metaphor for depression-it's a literal unraveling of self.
