"You don't have to fix me," Henri whispered, voice barely louder than the wind. His hoodie was damp with fog, and his hands shook like he hadn't stopped running.

Nate didn't look away. "I'm not trying to fix you."

A pause. Then-

"I'm just staying until you remember how to breathe again."

Behind them, Amy cursed at the broken radio while Plus danced barefoot in the fog, arms out like they were catching stars.

For the first time in forever, Henri didn't feel like a glitch in the code.

He felt seen.

The city sealed its walls five years ago. No one gets in.
No one gets out.
Except them.

Henri followed 59 rules every day of his life. Until the 60th rule broke him.
Nate escaped a home that tried to pray him into someone he wasn't.
Amy ran before the system could "reprogram" them into silence.
And Plus? Plus had it all-and gave it up to finally breathe.

Now they're alone in the forest. No map. No plan.
Just four teens with broken hearts, sharp minds, and too many secrets.

But the woods are not empty.
Something's watching.
And freedom always comes with a price.
