Shattered Symmerty by Geminitea26

In Symmetria, a city obsessed with looking perfect while everything underneath is falling apart, the cracks are getting harder to ignore. The leaders? They're more focused on keeping their polished image intact than actually running the place. But chaos is brewing, and guess who's making a comeback? Ravi, the power-hungry dictator with a tighter grip on the city than ever. And trust me, things are about to get messy. Enter Sunaina, a sharp, determined force of nature, and her loyal (but definitely not boring) friends Jenna and Marcus. They're caught in the middle of all this chaos, trying to save Symmetria from Ravi's iron fist, while dealing with the fact that trust is about as rare as a flaw in this so-called perfect city.
