THE SYNCHRONIZATION PROTOCOL

At St. Dorian High, time is not measured.
It is enforced.
When the school bell fails to ring one morning, no one panics-except Amara. Something small begins to slip. A delay in sound. A reflection that moves too late. A world that no longer aligns with itself.
The school corrects mistakes.
And Amara has just become one.
As reality fractures and students begin to change, she uncovers a system buried beneath the halls-one that feeds on time, rewrites behavior, and erases those who fall out of sync.
But the deeper she looks, the more one truth becomes clear:
This isn't a school.
It's a machine.
And it has already started adjusting her.
