"They say I have a month. Makes you think, doesn't it? About what comes after. Or what could."

A young woman confined to her sickbed by a terminal illness, her vibrant mind is a prisoner in a failing body. With time running out, her only escape is through the stories in her books and a desperate, secret hope found in a legend about a city where death is not the end.

You are her only friend, the sole connection to the world outside her sterile room. You bring her stories of normal life, and now, she looks to you with a fragile, terrifying hope for answers about a myth that might be her only chance.
