Tired of being locked away at home, Layla escapes to Maple City, where everyone has a 'Phenomena' (gifted ability), in search of a refuge from the Human Domain. The Order of Abundant Restoration is after her because of her twisted, lethal ability, and no one knows if Layla will die, or become a slave to the Humans' tyrannical government. It has been long since Layla has been able to make friends because of her power that makes her a killing machine.
Layla barely passes the interview to become the sixth member of the Anomaly Case Investigation Centre, to solve dangerous cases involving the Order of Abundant Restoration. At first, everyone seems to despise her, until a calamitous crisis breaks out in Maple City after a tournament, forcing Layla into a dilemma between her ideals and her humanity.

Desperate to keep her new found ability under wraps, she struggles to try and balance her mind and body, and adjust to her new life. It's especially hard when three new comers enter her life and really test her patience. ----------------------- "Luka what do you want? Can't you see you've already made me angry enough? Are you wanting for me to hit you or something?" He looked almost as frustrated as I felt, what did he have to feel like that? "You don't understand Layla, nothing's working" I shot him a look, what does he mean nothing is working? "You are literally trying to make me mad on purpose, why?" The fire inside me made the words come out harsher than I intended, but I decided I didn't care. He made me like this. "Because I want to help, but I need to make sure you're the right person" We stood silent for a few seconds, before the first part of his sentence registered in my head and I responded to it. "I don't need your help, I don't need any of your help" Luka snapped his head towards me, and a small laugh escaped from from his mouth. "Trust me, you do" ----------------------------- Layla is thrust into a new life consisting of pain, love and betrayal, and no matter how hard she tries, she won't ever be able to escape.

To Breathe Underwater
"I have been waving at you in my mind for weeks, Maya. Today was just the first time my arm caught up." She was falling apart on the factory floor. He was never supposed to notice. Maya Chen is a burnt-out technician trying to survive one shift at a time; hiding panic attacks in camera blind spots, masking the parts of herself the world won't accept. Unit A-7 is twenty tons of obsolete steel bolted to concrete, designed to weld and lift and obey without question. Seven isn't supposed to have preferences, or secrets, or a favorite sound. He certainly isn't supposed to break every protocol in his programming to offer her a cloth for her tears. What begins with that single act of kindness becomes everything: stolen conversations, a conspiracy that could land Maya in federal prison, and a love the law calls malfunction. When the decommissioning order drops, Maya realizes she's the only thing standing between Seven and erasure. With a crew of artists and scrappers at her back, she's going to steal a soul from a system that insists it never had one. In a world determined to drown them both, they learn to put each other back together and that malfunction is just another word for choosing to live.

𝐌𝐢𝐦𝐢, (would you ever light up with somebody like me?)
Four years after her mission, Emily decided it was time for a new beginning and moved back to the States to pursue her dream career, with her three-year-old toddler in tow. Navigating motherhood and the unpleasant feelings her new boss unwittingly stirred within her, Emily struggled to hide the enjoyment she felt from the light he brought into her life. And in a precarious situation she was too complacent to recognize, she found herself happy and content. But she would soon discover that she was never fully untethered from her past- no matter where she went or the oceans she crossed, some shadows simply never faded; their grip remained unyielding. Slowly, the wall she had built to protect herself began to crack, its segments fracturing, allowing old ghosts to creep through the gaps and reenter her world.
CLOUD CASCADE
It's the year 398 of the Ninth Era, an age dominated by the Federation's authoritarian control and by the insidious influence of megacorps like Mercator Group. Human-piloted, mass-produced machines known as Frames define the battlefield, surveillance programs monitor your every move, and no one alive remembers what it was like before it got this way. It's in this tightly-wound, bloody ecosystem that four lives collide. The Knife, a mob enforcer with the ability to bend matter, ends up a courier for a piece of tech she's been trained not to ask questions about. Angela, a Frame Pilot Specialist with the Ministry of State Affairs, fights for justice only to find deafening silence. Grey, her teammate, just wants to keep the squad sane. Major Falwin, their superior, investigates a crime scene and finds a Knife-shaped ghost. Nobody has all the pieces to the puzzle-not until Frames drop, guns are pointed, and the nature of reality becomes a question mark. In this new, unrelenting conflict, there won't be any winners, only more devastation.
