When the world rests, Celeste lies awake in other's memories-feeling, vivid, and uninvited. She has always been an outsider, quietly observing the lives of those she will never truly know. That is, until Cyrus steps into her world-a stranger who feels too familiar, like she's known him long before their paths crossed.
But as the threads of their lives entwine, it becomes clear that their connection is no mere coincidence. Celestia feels drawn to him in ways she can't explain, and Cyrus-aloof and haunted-begins to unravel in front of her. His charm hides a darker truth, and soon, what seemed like fate spirals into a labyrinth of lost memories, fragmented thoughts, and inexplicable behaviors.
Through journal entries that offer polished glimpses of Cyrus's perfect life and the jumbled pieces of his fractured reality, the reader is left questioning what is real. Is Celeste the anchor Cyrus so desperately needs, or is she merely the veil he clings to in his fight to remain tethered to a world slipping through his fingers?
