Zariah never left. She's lived in the same small town her entire life where the days blend soft and slow, the streets stay empty longer than they should, and silence clings to everything like mist. Most people call it peaceful. Safe. But Zariah knows better. There's something wrong with the quiet here. It's too deep. Too deliberate. And lately, it's grown heavier like the whole town is holding its breath. Then, one morning, the town clock starts ticking again. It hadn't chimed in years. But now, with every mechanical heartbeat, something old stirs beneath the surface. Memories Zariah can't place begin to rise dreams that feel too vivid, faces that feel too familiar, and flashes of a place she shouldn't remember. Zariah, Maia, Jalen and Naha embark on a journey that lead them to a truth they wasn't expecting And that's when the fractures begin lines in reality that pulse with mirrorlight, that push back when touched. Strange symbols appear in the bakery tiles. Shadows linger too long. People forget things they shouldn't. Zariah isn't sure what's real anymore. She only knows the past isn't finished with her. And something... or someone... has been waiting.
