She was told to forget. She chose to remember.
Lira was never supposed to uncover the truth—about the fire, the erased identity, or the girl she used to be. But when a scan cracks open hidden fragments, memories return with force. Not just hers… but echoes of countless others.
As children across the city vanish without a trace, Lira must decide: retreat into safety, or risk everything to build a lifeline for those still lost.
With the help of a boy who remembers too much and a network of whispers in the dark, she launches the mosaic—a signal stitched from memory, resistance, and hope.
Because memory doesn’t die.
It waits.
And sometimes, it finds a way home.
