"𝓘 𝓫𝓸𝓾𝓰𝓱𝓽 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓽𝓲𝓶𝓮, 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓭𝓲𝓭𝓷'𝓽 𝓫𝓾𝔂 𝓶𝓮 𝓵𝓸𝔂𝓪𝓵𝓽𝔂"
When 𝓒𝖍𝖎𝖘𝖍𝖎𝖞𝖆 𝓢𝖍𝖚𝖓𝖙𝖆𝖗𝖔̄ returns from the Borderlands, he is a man rebuilt: clinical, brilliant, and free from the trauma of the games-including the memory of 𝓜𝖊𝖎𝖞𝖆 𝓐𝖒𝖆𝖙𝖆𝖞𝖆𝖐𝖚𝖑
𝓜𝖊𝖎𝖞𝖆 survived, too, but with a prosthetic leg and a devastating secret: Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM), a ticking clock caused by the sacrifice she made to save him.
The moment 𝓒𝖍𝖎𝖘𝖍𝖎𝖞𝖆 discovers her diagnosis, the debt shifts. To repay the life he can't remember, he drags her into a sterile, gilded cage, forcing her to live under his medical authority until he can find a cure. He will give her the years she sacrificed.
But 𝓜𝖊𝖎𝖞𝖆 doesn't want to live in debt. She only wants to finish her mission: to ensure the memory of her sacrifice becomes the only thing he can ever truly know.
A twisted game of survival begins, where her unstable heart is the weapon, and his perfect reputation is the target. She will use the time he bought her to destroy his life, leaving him with nothing but the brutal, unforgettable truth of what he lost.
The Borderlands Debt is paid. The Real-World Game has just begun.
