COMPLETED●EDITING● Some wounds don't need words. They need a witness. What happens when a mother's greatest success is her refusal to feel? ​Kamilah Paisley Maeve, 18, has always relied on her father-the rock who helped her navigate high school while she quietly lived with the void of an absent mother. ​That mother, the famed mogul Uncanny Valley, didn't just walk away; she fled. Driven by the echoes of profound trauma and pain, she chose the ruthless path of survival: locking away her emotions. Her empire grew, but her family shattered. She succeeded by refusing to hear the cries of the world or even the cries within herself. ​Kamilah is devastated when she realizes her idol is her parent. Now, the conflict isn't just about speaking but about listening. Kamilah doesn't just need words; she needs her mother to JUST LISTEN-to the silence in her hurt, to the chaos of her hidden past, and most importantly, to the desperate cry for help that hides beneath Uncanny Valley's perfect, emotionless façade. ​The greatest challenge is not finding the words, but finding the courage to listen to the silence when nothing is said. ​[Warning: contains strong language and scenes that some may find disturbing] ​°COMPLETED°

"Do you see me?" "I always see you." ⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻ It all started three years ago. During that elusive summer that cracked them all down the middle and changed their lives forever. How do you live with that? How do you change all you know and attempt to live the same? Well, the eight of them are about to learn perhaps you don't just get to live with it, and instead, you need to confront the past. Or maybe just fucking pummel it further into the ground. ⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻ "Why were we ever friends?" Dakota mutters, wiping a hand down his face. "Because we all worked well together." Maeve shrugs, "We're all so fucking different. It honestly made this whole thing perfect." Neviah raises a brow, "I think we have different definitions of perfect." "I second that." Victoria hums. "Perhaps deserving?" Phoenix reasons, "We're not perfect, but we're all deserving of each other?" Dylan smiles softly, "I like that."
