29 parts Complete [COMPLETE] CALIBRATED DISTANCE
They trained her to disappear. But no one trained her to survive being seen.
Mira Alessa Delgado was supposed to be just a data point. Another name on the list.
Watched. Measured. Predicted. Controlled.
But when the system uses love as a weapon - when betrayal wears the face of the ones you trust most - survival becomes rebellion.
This isn't your typical dystopia.
No insta-love. No chosen-one hero.
Just slow-burn heartbreak, quiet strength, and a girl who was never supposed to fight back.
What to expect:
- Soft rebellion wrapped in emotional suspense
- Hurt/comfort, betrayal, survival, and healing
- Slow-burn connection you'll scream over (Mr. X says hi)
- Closure that doesn't rush your pain
This is not a story about breaking free.
It's about burning it all down.
Calibrated Distance is Book 1 of The Ones Who Were Watched, a Taglish series about trauma, found family, surveillance, data, and the danger of being seen too clearly.
A slow-burn, Taglish scifi, psychological romance-suspense where love might save you-or surveil you.
#1 in Emotional - because pain deserves pacing. And payoff. And for a reason. Not here to rush your healing. Here to wreck you softly.
Let's burn it down together. Stay a while. Drop your theories. I read every scream.
