Alex, a systems investigator who knows how power hides in plain sight. Leo, the insider who helped build the machine-and wants out. Adriaan, the whistleblower who was supposed to be dead. Together, they expose Helix: a covert network that detains and manipulates people in the name of "stability." But bringing it into the light only reveals something bigger - a global system designed to predict crises... and control people before they can choose for themselves. Their enemy isn't just a man. It's an idea: that safety matters more than consent. As disasters strike and governments panic, the world begins to lean toward the very system they're trying to stop. Now they face their hardest question yet: How do you fight control... when it starts to look like care? A slow-burn, high-stakes story about surveillance, ethics, power, and the people who decide the future shouldn't be built in the dark.

Rain doesn't forget. Ren Aizawa hasn't played the piano in seven years-not since the accident that stole his younger brother and shattered his will to feel joy. Every morning, he watches the train leave without him, waiting for something he doesn't believe in anymore: healing. But when Haruna Mizuki-grief-worn and ghost-hearted-appears at the platform with a thermos and too many unspoken goodbyes, Ren finds himself drawn into a quiet companionship neither of them asked for. Bound by shared silence, old letters, a forgotten piano, and the relentless rhythm of the rain, they begin to unearth something tender: the possibility of life after loss. A Place the Rain Still Falls is a one-chapter literary drama about mourning, memory, and the quiet ways broken people find their way back to music, art-and each other.
