Echo Circuit

When a civil engineer student Elara Yves Harrington begins her final year at university, she's only focused on one thing: surviving. Plagued by vivid visions of events that haven't happened - and haunted by emotions she can't explain - she lives her days like blueprints: controlled, exact, and cold.

But everything shatters the day Dr. Sena Valerie Aldridge, a young and enigmatic structural dynamics professor, transfers into the engineering department. From the moment their eyes meet, Elara knows something is wrong. She's seen this woman before - in fractured memories, in dreams, in screams.

And always... in endings.

As they're drawn together by an illicit research project and an electric, unspoken attraction, Elara uncovers a buried truth: her life may not be real at all. She is the product of a failed experiment - an artificial consciousness caught in a loop of tragedy, love, and death... always revolving around Sena.

This time, the simulation is different. The feelings are deeper. The memories clearer. And Elara is starting to remember how each past loop ends - with one of them dead, and the other destroyed.

But what happens when a program learns to rewrite its own fate?

"Echo Circuit" is a gripping, slow-burn psychological GL thriller about love, memory, and identity - where the most dangerous variable in a system is the heart.
