Hundreds of people across the planet disappeared for a week before returning with no recollection of the phenomena.
The media, government response was nonexistent, life carried on quickly.
A month later inside the Japanese apartment home of Paige Stevens, an old friend considered long dead, appears.
He remembers everything, even seeing Paige there too. She’s a big a part of it too.
With what he has seen lies a warning.
There's war brewing and it's about to boil over. Only, there's more to Paige than she ever imagined.

Jin's War

Paige Stevens

There was something unique about school buzz. Rare but special. It had power. It had to, if it were to touch a thousand kids.

For a buzz to exist it needed to resonate enough to bypass conflicting interests. In a history where information wasn't constant, buzz formed quick. At least before cynicism.

That made his return all the more impressive. Half the school stopped what they were doing, breaking routines so deep they were carved into the souls of their shoes.

Anyone missing longer than three days was 'found', and by the smell. They never showed in time for class, looking as though they'd been dragged across mount Oyama by horses, with diarrhea.

The event was surreal. She could only watch the backs of all who'd approached. Some marching straight to him, others 'happening' upon him with a 'whoops, I didn't see you there, oh by the way'.

It gave her the leeway to watch and listen to exactly how varied the stories, rumours and opinions became.

All before silent reading, and homeroom.
