Arielle had always known she was good at observing people.

She just never imagined she was one of the experiments.

Halebridge University was supposed to be her second chance. She got in as a scholarship student majoring in art, and managed to bag herself a quiet job at the campus café. She had a new life she was building with her own hands, away from her suffocating relationship with her mother back at home. But then the cracks appeared:

She finds an old photograph she doesn’t remember, which makes her question everything she thought she knew about her childhood,
Then there was the locked tower no one would talk about that gave off eerie vibes,
And she encountered twin strangers on campus who looked at her like they’d been waiting years for her to arrive: the handsome but intense graduate student, and the sharp-eyed artist whose gaze felt like both an accusation and a warning.

It wasn’t until a threatening message appeared in her inbox that Arielle realized something life-changing. Someone wasn’t just hiding the truth, but they were also willing to destroy her life to keep it buried.

Because she was never just Arielle. She was Subject A.

In a campus where every locked door hides a history and every kindness might be a strategy, Arielle must decide how much of the truth she’s willing to remember, and what it will cost her and everyone she loves if she does.
