Between Leaves and Ashes

A vine-shelter. A locket. A girl caught between memory and becoming.
Lyra lives in the in-between, a vine-shelter grown from memory, grief, and honeysuckle. After the war, she returns to the place where silence blooms and the past clings like ash. Her locket holds more than keepsakes: it carries the weight of her mother's knot, her brother's absence, and the stories she's never spoken aloud.
As the seasons shift and the vines begin to stir, Lyra must decide what to keep, what to bury, and what to let bloom. Between leaves and ash, she unravels the threads of identity, loss, and quiet resilience, searching for a way to become something new without forgetting who she was.
This is a story of transformation told in fragments and flashbacks, where metaphor becomes memory and healing is never linear. Lyra is not one thing. She is the turning.
