What if your grief could be taken away and your family said yes?A textbook falls in a silent exam hall. It hits the floor. Then it is back on the desk, falling again and Finn Mercer is the only person in the room who saw it happen twice.At first he thinks he is losing his mind. Then he starts finding the seams: sounds arriving before the motions that cause them, hallways that correct themselves too cleanly, a friend whose face stays warm while something patient looks out from behind it. The more he tests reality, the more reality notices him back.What Finn uncovers is not a conspiracy. It is a kindness, a system that treats grief, trauma and unbearable memory as errors to be softened, and a world full of people who were never asked whether they wanted to keep them.Then the rooms break open, and the book becomes something else: wider, harsher, and set in the ruins of the thing that was protecting everyone. What follows is not escape. It is the far more difficult question of what people build next, and how fast fear rebuilds the walls they just tore down.'A beautifully haunting novel.' - Reedsy Discovery, Must Read 6
