Some wounds don't show on the surface-they hide in quiet corners, in moments no one notices, in the parts of yourself you try to keep tucked away. For those who retreat into a younger self to cope, the world can feel like a constant test: a test of control, of shame, of whether anyone could ever truly understand.

This is a story about the delicate, complicated space between safety and fear, about what it means to hide and yet long to be seen. It explores the guilt, embarrassment, and isolation that come with involuntary regression, and the fragile courage it takes to allow someone past the walls built to survive.
Tender, unflinching, and painfully honest, this book shows that healing isn't a straight line-and that sometimes, being halfway to okay is still a victory worth holding onto.

6 parts Ongoing

. About 50 years ago, society began accepting regression. More research was done, and tests were then created and perfected to identify regressors and possible caregivers, along with matching them up and creating places spesifically for them. Daycares, playgrounds, hospital units. Everything was safe and accepting, from a legal standpoint at least. Jake was a regular college student. He played soccer, he went to his classes, he partied every other weekend, and he shared his dorm with his best friend, Mason. They both took the test at once, knowing what they'd likely be, but.. they weren't correct. Or even close. Now Jake's stuck with 3 caregivers, struggling to accept that he's a regressor, and having to adjust to his entire life changing in front of him without him having much of a say in it. At least he can still go into engineering like he wanted, right? Or is that being taken away from him too?
