The world ended-but time didn't. After a civilization-ending event shattered reality, time fractured into repeating, overlapping "loops" of a single dying week. Survivors live in isolated "waste pockets," each caught in different time rhythms: some move forward, some backward, some endlessly repeat. But there's a myth: a traveler who can move between time pockets. She's called The Echo. She doesn't remember who she is-but when she shows up in a loop, things change. Sometimes for the better. Sometimes catastrophically. Rekka is not The Echo. She's something else: a scavenger born in a backward-moving loop. She wakes up dead and lives the week in reverse until her "birth" each time, forced to witness destruction undone-but never prevent it. One day, she meets The Echo... and something breaks. Now time isn't just looping. It's waking up.
