Evan can hold fear. Not erase it, not cure it?carry it. As institutions learn to replicate Evan's ability, fear is stripped from people in the name of peace, leaving behind something far worse than panic: emptiness.
Accompanied by a creature born of fear itself, Evan must confront the truth no system wants to face?that fear is not the enemy, but a signal, a bond, and a necessary part of being human.
