Empathy is a design flaw. For Ethan Wilder, every emotion is a variable to be simulated and every human being a part to be adjusted.
On campus, you don't fall in love with Ethan. You are selected.
Aaliyah Brooks isn't just a student: she is an anomaly. Every coincidence she experiences is a staged event, every kiss is a test, and every argument is a recalibration. But beneath Ethan's perfect symmetry, the shadows of a missing brother and a fractured past threaten to implode the system.
Control isn't a game. It's an autopsy.
As the line between protection and obsession blurs, Aaliyah will have to face a chilling truth: in Ethan's world, you don't leave the pattern. You are either a successful iteration or an error to be erased.
Who is manipulating whom? Welcome to the Calibration.
