During a standardized exam, Finn Mercer watches a textbook fall from his desk. No one else reacts. Moments later, the book is back where it started.
Then the errors spread.
Hallways shift. Memories stop lining up. People become calmer in ways that feel less like healing than subtraction. The more Finn notices, the more visible he becomes to something designed to correct what people can no longer bear.
As the line between relief and erasure begins to disappear, Finn has to decide what is worth preserving, even when preserving it means allowing pain to remain.
What if your grief could be taken away and your family said yes?
