Carmela has lived her whole life in a quiet, dreamy neighborhood, surrounded by the only world she has ever known. The days feel familiar, the nights always the same, and she has never once questioned why. But one morning, a strange man appears in the far distance, watching her with eyes that seem to know more than she does.
His presence stirs something inside her-a longing, a fear, and a curiosity she cannot ignore. Step by step, her once-perfect world begins to change, and the truths she thought she knew start to slip away. What lies beyond the life she has always accepted? And when the sun finally finds her... will Carmela be brave enough to step into it?

The Living Shadow: Phantom Heart
He was just an ordinary boy living an ordinary life... until the shadow found him. ******** Not a darkness to fear, not a curse to bear, but a presence older than humanity itself, born from the deepest corners of the Earth.

Its whispers, its movements, its presence are a mystery, and he must learn to live with something he cannot understand. As days pass, the boy begins to notice the world differently: hidden patterns, quiet truths, and glimpses of a reality no one else can see. With every heartbeat, the shadow remains, silent yet undeniable, a presence that changes everything without ever causing harm. In a story of mystery, wonder, and unseen bonds, he will discover that some companions are not meant to be understood, some hearts are never truly alone, and some shadows have always been part of the world-waiting.
