This is a story about teenagers struggling to grow up, and growing up is full of choices that affect how you choose to define your character.

In the year 2184, love is manufactured, families are artificial, and the natural human connection is a distant memory. Society thrives within the bounds of strict norms: virtual intimacy replaces the physical, and traditional relationships are viewed as relics of an ancient past. Toshi, a quiet but inquisitive student, and Aiko, an introspective young woman nursing a broken heart, find themselves out of sync with the world around them. A seemingly ordinary question ignites a cascade of discoveries: Why has humanity forgotten its past? As Toshi and Aiko delve deeper into forbidden history, they uncover a secret buried in the foundation of their society—one that reveals the truth about their world’s origins and its ultimate purpose. But their search for answers doesn’t go unnoticed. When an unseen entity intervenes, pulling the strings from the shadows, Toshi and Aiko are forced to confront terrifying possibilities. Is their reality what it seems, or are they part of an experiment far grander than they could have imagined? Every step forward brings them closer to a choice: risk everything to find the truth or surrender to the comfort of the lie. --Cover Art By: facebook.com/long.hand.3517

Someone appears, silent as a shadow. They understand every thought, every wound, every quiet dream you’ve hidden away. Who are they? They look at you with your own memories in their eyes, wearing a life that feels like yours—and yet it’s not. They claim to be you. Would you trust them? Would you let them in, knowing they might reveal the parts of yourself you’ve buried the deepest? And if they are indeed a part of you… are you forced to accept them? Do you want to? Their presence stirs something you can’t define—a connection that feels fated, an understanding that runs deeper than you can explain. They slip through the fabric of your life, binding themselves into your existence, as if they’ve always been there, waiting to step forward. Yet behind that familiarity lies a tension, a question that lingers: What if they’re here to reflect not only the best parts of you but also everything you fear to see? Are they here to free you from your own shadows… or to pull you into theirs? Currently Improving Chapters, If some dont make sense, well it will soon. Quality over Quantity (finished polishing!
