Echoes of a Lie (Paused)

He woke up with a world that felt both familiar and strange.
A life he thought he understood was slipping through his fingers like sand.

He had loved her once, or so he thought.
Ash's mind is a maze of fractured memories, and the truth lies just out of reach.

A promise. A love. A life he can't recall but desperately clings to.
Every step forward is haunted by a voice that keeps asking, "WHAT did you do that NIGHT?"

The past is a shadow that never lets go.
And Ash is about to discover that some truths are too painful to remember.

Some stories end before they ever begin.
And sometimes, the most haunting lies are the ones you tell yourself.
