Elara Velintra wasn’t supposed to survive the fall—but she did.
Now haunted by a cursed wand, a sentient blob named Moko, and a laugh that doesn’t belong to her, Elara returns to Windvale Academy with something broken inside.
What begins as an accident soon spreads. Laughter infects the halls, memory twists itself into illusions, and students start to crack beneath their smiles.
As the only one who remembers what silence feels like, Elara must decide: suppress the darkness growing inside her—or weaponize it.
Because at Windvale, no one really cries. They just laugh louder.
