70 parts Ongoing Kyle. A boy worn thin by expectations that were never truly his own-misunderstood, overestimated, and exhausted from a lifetime spent pleasing everyone but himself.
After graduation, he leaves behind his quiet countryside home, hoping a distant university might finally offer him peace.
Instead, the city offers him something far stranger than loneliness.
Waiting inside the house meant to be his new start is a girl he has never met-serene, unfamiliar, and fundamentally wrong in ways he can't quite name.
She doesn't feel human.
And she isn't very good at pretending to be.
She asks if she can live with him.
Reluctant, and too kind to refuse, Kyle agrees-unaware that he has just welcomed into his life something far older and far greater than he could possibly understand.
She is not merely otherworldly.
She is an existence that should not care about human hearts at all-an Outer God wearing a fragile disguise, observing a species she was never meant to touch.
Yet he fascinates her.
Beneath his calm exterior is a boy shaped by a past that taught him to distrust affection, to measure love as obligation, and to fear what it might demand of him in return. His brokenness is not something Anathasia was prepared for, nor something her kind was ever meant to encounter.
As she watches him, studies him, and begins to feel, the boundary between observer and participant begins to erode.
What begins as quiet cohabitation becomes something far more dangerous.
Will their impossible bond heal the wounds Kyle tried so desperately to bury-
or will it awaken emotions in both of them that neither of their worlds will allow to exist?
