Emotion Note

Emilia Roth never cared about emotions. After years of suppressing her own feelings, she sees them as nothing more than a distraction. But that changes the night she finds the Emotion Note, a mysterious black notebook with an unsettling instruction:

"Write a full name. Write down the description of the emotion that you wish for that person to feel. What is written will play out exactly as described."

Skeptical but curious, Emilia experiments. She makes a scam artist feel crippling guilt, a catcaller experience paralyzing fear, and an old friend relive love so overwhelming it drowns out all else. Each emotion unfolds exactly as she described, no matter how poetic-or cruel-her wording.

But power has a cost. The more she uses the Emotion Note, the more she begins to feel unfamiliar emotions herself-waves of sorrow, flashes of rage, bursts of hysterical joy. She soon realizes the horrifying truth: emotions aren't created, only transferred. Every feeling she forces onto another must come from someone-or something. And now, it's watching her.
