Twenty-five years later, Kael hears a voice no one should know: his real name. As echoes of their past resurface through dream bleeds and shared memories, the twins are drawn back into a corporate war for control over human minds. But Neuroid is more than tech, it’s legacy. And somewhere inside the system, their parents are still alive… in pieces. To survive, Kael must find Lyra and reunite to resist the ghosts inside them, and decide whether to weaponize memory or heal from it. In a world where minds can be mapped, sold, and rewritten, what does it mean to remember who you really are?
