O TYM ODCINKU
A threatening message arrives from Olivia’s number—but Olivia swears she never sent it. Moments later, an unknown sender gives Ava a new instruction:
Check the yearbook. 2005. Page 17.
Buried inside WillowBend High’s archives, Ava discovers a student science project involving treated wetland water, shadow oscillation, and something called displacement mirrors. The girl pictured beside the project looks disturbingly familiar. Not exactly like Ava—but close enough to make Olivia ask the question neither of them wants answered:
“Tell me that’s not your face.”
Determined to stop waiting for the next blackout, Ava begins documenting every reset, distorted shadow, and reflection that refuses to behave. If WillowBend’s reality is being rewritten, she intends to learn how to debug it.
For a few hours, an unexpected news story reminds Ava who she was before the shadows: an environmental activist, an eco-warrior, and someone capable of making a difference. But that moment of peace disappears when she enters school and discovers Tyler has turned an old photograph into fresh ammunition.
Then Ava finds the video.
Her silhouette is too long. The shadows surrounding her don’t simply fall—they reach. And inside the locker-room mirror, another Ava is waiting.
Same clothes. Same face. Vacant eyes.
And a smirk that isn’t human.
