Subject R-101 is the first clone in a failed experiment, defying expectations with the longest survival time, but as his body and mind begin to fracture, the line between success and failure blurs, leaving him to question whether he is a miracle or just another broken experiment.

Leehan lives in two versions of the same world-one forged in steel and silence, the other washed in warmth and forgotten names. Each time he closes his eyes, something shifts. A stone disappears.

A familiar voice. A hidden map. A promise made in a life he no longer recalls. But as the lines blur between what's real and what's not, he begins to ask: If you remember someone in every world... Does it mean they were never truly gone?
