After his book is pirated, he receives a barrage of hateful remarks, and his characters **begin to speak to him** by making fun of him, whispering, and dominating him. Lacking sleep and stuck in a dishonest field, he starts to lose his sense of reality. His words no longer feel like his own, there are shadows hiding behind his screen, and he cannot give up. ** Aarav has to discover the terrible truth before his own story consumes him as reality and fiction become more and more hazy. **
