12 parts Complete Y/N wakes up in St. Lysa's Psychiatric Facility with a foggy mind, a heart monitor strapped to her chest, and no idea how she got there. She's told she collapsed at school. That the stress finally caught up. That her heart couldn't take it.
She's diagnosed with depression, dissociation, and cardiomyopathy - a condition that could kill her if she's pushed too far. But that's not what keeps her up at night.
It's Theodore Nott.
He's a patient too - older, sharper, and colder. Rumored to be violent. Court-ordered therapy, anger problems, insomnia. He smokes out his window every night, watching her through the glass. He doesn't talk much to others. But he knows everything about Y/N - things he shouldn't.
He becomes her shadow. Her protector. Her obsession.
But the truth is, he knew her before she came here. And he might be the reason her heart's not just broken - it's damaged. Permanently.
The closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous he becomes. And the more dangerous she becomes to herself.
