Anya is a glitch in the system. In a society where emotional control is paramount, her empathic abilities make her a dangerous anomaly. The omnipresent 'Neuroblance' constantly scans citizens, rewarding emotional neutrality and punishing any deviation from the norm. Anya feels the suppressed emotions of those around her - the simmering resentment of the workers, the quiet despair of the elders, the fleeting joy of children quickly extinguished. It's a cacophony that threatens to overwhelm her, making it nearly impossible to maintain the required emotional blankness. How can she become numb when the world around her is screaming in silent agony?

Anya is no longer the same. She lost the only one she ever loved. She lost the battle. But she still has her people. She accepts the marriage with the president's son as a transaction: he gains his symbol, she gains peace for her sector. She becomes a mother. She lives in a white house, with a tidy garden and cameras at every corner. Her face appears on screens, at official events. But her gaze is empty. For years, she repeats a routine that doesn't belong to her, just to survive. At night, she writes letters she never sends, to a dead man who still breathes in her dreams. One night, she simply vanishes. No notes. No trace. Only her notebook remains.
