"Congratulations, you have earned 5,000 Life Points for turning a Faded in. Thank you for your dedication to the restoration scheme, it is truly admirable. Stay happy and remember, a smile a day keeps the darkness at bay!"
The world is fading into darkness. The mysterious natural phenomenon "Fade" is draining colour and life from the lands and the people, plunging the Earth into a murky grey existence. How to counteract it or slow its effects? Don't worry, be happy! The restoration scheme is here to save the day! Designed to help the world achieve true happiness, the scheme has overrun society with the belief that the happier you are, the slower the fade. On the outside, it is the perfect plan, but if you look closer, there is something desperate hiding beneath the people's smiles.
As Mina Alvarsson starts to fade, she begins to realise that perhaps the restoration scheme may not humanity's saving grace, but their downfall. Friends turn on friends in the name of saving humanity. And in a world where nobody wants to listen, and where populations are blinded by science, will humanity survive in the end or are they destined to fade?

HOLDING ON TO YOU
Some people fade with time, their presence dissolving like a forgotten song. And then, there are the ones who stay-their laughter etched into your soul, their absence louder than their presence ever was. She told herself she had moved on. That the past belonged in the past. But the universe had a cruel way of bringing back what you thought was gone for good. Tonight, under the glow of the streetlights, she felt it again-the pull, the weight of memories she thought she had buried. Then her phone vibrated. One message. "Tell me you don't remember." Her heart stopped. Because she did. Every word. Every promise. Every reason she should have let go but never could. And now, it was all coming back. Because some stories never really end.
