The Dream feeds on emotion. Grief leaves marks. Not everyone who enters remains human and not everyone tries. A story of death, transformation, and the monsters born when broken people seek the wrong kind of meaning.
When Nia wakes in a crumbling ruin, hunted by Nightmares, she remembers only one thing: she died. In this strange world called the Dream, the rules shift, the monsters wear familiar faces, and a single comforting presence will be the first crack in her unraveling mind. Elsewhere, Dio meets a young woman called Ray who feels like a memory. As they search for meaning in the Dream, their growing bond threatens to stir something long buried... and dangerously powerful.
