"Some things fade. Some things stay. And some things... we leave behind without even meaning to."
Alec Donovan grew up mastering the art of vanishing - whether through a well-timed glance or a carefully crafted lie. That is, until one night, when the world around him fractured and a strange, unpredictable power emerged: invisibility. It was a gift, or perhaps a curse, that allowed him to disappear in a way no one else could understand. In a town like Arcadia Bay, where everything felt on the edge of collapse, vanishing became a way to survive.
Then Chloe Price crashed into his life - a whirlwind of fire and rebellion, pulling Alec out of his hidden existence. And Rachel Amber, with her grand ambitions and boundless dreams, coaxed him into a world too big for the small town he'd always known. In their presence, Alec discovered something he hadn't thought he'd ever deserve: a reason to be seen.
As time passes, Alec's path weaves in and out of moments of loss, longing, and the echoes of those he's tried to forget. From the quiet fires of the past to the unraveling truths that shape his future, Alec's story mirrors the journeys of those who came before him and the ones he never expected to cross paths with.
But when the past comes rushing back, forcing Alec to face the ghosts he's long evaded, the power he's tried to ignore, and the truth he can no longer outrun, he realizes something: sometimes, it isn't disappearing that's the hardest part.
It's learning to stay.
In a world where memories can shift like sand, and reality itself is fragile enough to shatter with a breath, The Space We Leave Behind is a tale of love, loss, hidden scars, and the people who leave imprints on our souls - even when we can no longer see them.
