15 parts Ongoing Oren Hale discovers a memorial page for a boy who died four years ago and cannot explain why the photo looks exactly like him. After that, ordinary life starts to feel staged, like he is walking through a story someone else wrote.
His tutor, Ayara, was smart, guarded, and dangerously easy to talk to. Their sessions shift into something riskier: honesty, which only makes the rest of the world feel stranger by comparison. As Oren tries to trace where the dead boy ends and he begins, the people around him keep steering him back toward "normal."
A boy dies. A boy survives. Oren has to figure out how both can be true before he loses whatever life is actually his.
