(Elias’s perspective)
Elias comes from an Earth that defeated death.
In his reality, people do not die. When a body fails, consciousness does not fade, it stays. Anchored. Preserved. That is why Elias was rebuilt: nanotech and AI woven through his body, not as a weapon, but as a vessel built to cross realities and keep his mind intact.
Then the sky fractures. Elias falls into another world, and nothing goes to plan.
Mateo finds Elias broken on the pavement, impossible to explain, impossible to ignore, and chooses to help him disappear.
Everyone else wants Elias for what is inside him: the tech, the proof, the shortcut to immortality.
On the run, Elias starts to understand what his world forgot while chasing forever: tenderness, choice, the risk of loving someone you might lose. Mateo becomes more than shelter. He becomes a reason.
Elias must decide what to protect: the dream of never ending, or the kind of life worth staying for.
A love story about being found, and learning how to stay.
