That night, James said goodbye to the world. Lying alone at the edge of a lake, covered in wounds, breath fading colder by the second James had made peace with it. Shy, endlessly apologetic, the kind of person who says sorry even when it's not his fault, he'd spent his whole life being kind to a world that never returned the favor. Even then, his principles never bent. He closed his eyes and whispered one last goodbye.
Then he woke up. No wounds. No bruises. Same lake, as if that night never happened. And standing over him was a girl who looked ready to kill him herself.
Her name is Masha. Sharp-tongued, quick to snap. Three days ago, someone she trusted broke her heart, and the anger she's wearing now isn't really hers - it's armor over someone warmer, someone James hasn't met yet.
But nothing about this night stays normal for long. Wounds vanish without a trace. A drowned phone rings from the bottom of a lake. And every time the horror creeps back in, it isn't just fear anymore something is watching, bending what's real, testing how much these two strangers can take before they break. Neither of them is who the other assumed. And whatever is pulling the strings isn't done yet. Sometimes, the scariest thing isn't death. It's a world that keeps almost showing you the truth then taking it back.
