"Sometimes I want my spirit to dissociate from my body. To be away from its heaviness, the unbearable pain. To not be alive for a while..."

Jace was a teenager who was in a lot of emotional pain. Amaia his cousin came around once in a while and did things to him that he still couldn't escape. He was taught to idolize her and call her sister who was far from that. He was constantly left feeling inferior and undeserving by everyone around him. He had begun finding it hard to bear or understand his emotions. His own feelings felt alien to him.

Jace didn't deserve what he had to endure, nobody does. But does his trauma create a stronger human out of him or will the memories create a monster out of him?

This is the story where a teenager navigates love, friendship, trust, life and the positives and negatives of being born a human.
