Dear Emily, Love, Emily
Every New Year's Day, like clockwork, Emily receives a mysterious letter in her mailbox-from her future self. These letters have always guided her through life's biggest decisions, offering advice, warnings, and glimpses of what's to come. For years, they've shaped her choices, giving her the sense that her future is under control, written in the stars. But this year, things are different. As the clock strikes midnight, there's no letter. Emily is left with silence, uncertainty, and the unsettling realization that her future may no longer be scripted for her. For the first time, she's forced to face the terrifying possibility that she must choose her own path without the comfort of knowing what's ahead. As she grapples with whether to follow the cosmic fate she once believed in or forge her own way, Emily embarks on a journey of self-discovery. With no letter to guide her, will she trust her instincts and change her future-or was the absence of a letter a sign that she was always meant to write her own story?Complete
Fluke
"For a place called Paradise City, this island sucks. I don't think a single day has gone by that I haven't thought about stabbing the shit out of myself," he said. "Especially since I'm forced to live with you every second of every day." "Sh. I'm trying to science," I said, not looking up from my binoculars. "See anything interesting?" "Not really. My vision's a little clouded from the fog and rain clouds you constantly emit." He laughed. "You never fail to amuse me, Rea." "But you just said-" "I just said you make me want to stab myself. Interpret that however you'd like." With a love for whales and all life (besides maybe humans), Reagan Winebrenner had never even seen an ocean until her senior year in high school.

A few years later and an invitation to Paradise City in hand, Reagan has her entire summer laid out for her, working on the project of a lifetime. But with five other students completing their projects as well, will they discover something worthwhile, or will they end up a psychology lesson for future generations?

We Spoke in Tomorrow
Every year on her birthday, Iris receives a letter from a boy she's never met-each one postmarked from the past, each one warning her about a future she doesn't remember. When the final letter arrives on her seventeenth birthday, it carries a chilling message: "You die this year." Drawn into a forgotten town that doesn't exist on any map and haunted by dreams of a boy trapped in time, Iris begins to question everything she knows-about fate, memory, and the quiet boy who writes her from a loop that keeps resetting. This time, she writes back. And this time... she plans to change everything. "We are not just made of time... We are made of everything it tried to erase, and still couldn't." - Iris ValeComplete

But now that "someday" is here, everything is more complicated than he ever imagined. She's stronger. He's quieter. And their hearts? Still speaking the language of "what ifs."

The Spiral (English translation)
Many people associate the period of education with the best time of life. A certain high school graduate girl takes her first steps towards adulthood, but slowly realizes about her bad choices and their consequences. Disregarding one's problems, denying them, and not always correctly believing in control of one's life are common obstacles to find a solution; to defeat the enemy, one must first notice that the enemy exists. We often learn about a bad decision after the fact, and every path we take seems reasonable at the time. Sometimes we think that we can always return to the previous state from a given path. If you had to turn back time, would you do exactly the same thing to get to where you are now? Do you think that if people didn't want to eat, they wouldn't? === Related to Brain Damage track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=En-J8cS1_AQ and the second version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHvqjz4HsfY === DISCLAIMER The text contains scenes that may shock, be inappropriate for sensitive people or depict illegal activities.
