Quinn's job is to observe dying simulations. Digital worlds on the brink of collapse. She's not supposed to get involved. Not supposed to feel anything. But then she meets Ksenia.
Smart, grounded, and entirely unforgettable, Ksenia is unlike anyone Quinn's ever encountered. She's also not real. At least, that's what Quinn keeps telling herself.
But as deletion looms, Quinn finds herself pulled back to Ksenia's quiet village again and again-drawn in by their conversations, their laughter, and the connection she swore she'd never let happen. With time running out and lines blurring between virtual and reality, Quinn is faced with an impossible question:
What do you do when the person who makes you feel most alive, technically doesn't exist?
