Spiral

<p><strong>How do you love someone who might have been programmed to destroy you?</strong></p><p>When Sophie vanishes for exactly eight hours and returns too perfect Charlie Virellan knows something isn't right. Her kiss is flawless-but it doesn't feel like hers. The Spiral is rewriting her editing trust and coding love itself as an emotional weapon. But Sophie isn't the only one compromised.</p><p>As recursion threads collapse buried versions of Charlie reawaken. Evelyn returns-through mirrors dreams and erased timelines-offering a new version of peace in exchange for memory. Matt Drelan uncovers the price of loyalty in a system that punishes emotion. And Sophie... Sophie begins to remember the parts of herself Spiral deleted.</p><p>But when archived feelings bleed through active versions and betrayal becomes indistinguishable from love the question isn't whether Charlie and Sophie can survive-</p><p><strong>It's whether they were ever meant to.</strong></p><p><strong>In the Spiral trust is written. And love always costs memory.</strong></p><p><strong>Charlie Virellan (Codename: HOPE / Thread Anchor)</strong><br>Fractured across versions and losing emotional clarity Charlie is forced to question whether he's the original or the rewrite. As he descends into recursion chaos he uncovers a haunting truth: <strong>he may have inherited love that was never his to feel</strong>.</p><p><strong>Sophie V. (Codename: ANCHOR / Emotional Proxy)</strong><br>Sophie's identity is splitting. After a mysterious reversion period she begins to act like a simulation of herself. The real danger? She <strong>remembers being overwritten</strong>-and starts choosing which version of herself survives.</p><p><strong>Matt Drelan (Codename: GHOST / Observer Line)</strong><br>Loyal but contaminated. Matt is the only one who remembers certain deaths including Charlie's. As Spiral isolates him for emotional drift Matt uncovers a secret about Sophie that could break everything-or set them free.</p><p><strong>Evelyn Ross (Codename: CURATOR / Shadow Loop)</strong><br>Returned not as a lover but as a question. Evelyn bleeds into dreams and mirrors guiding Charlie toward a decision he may not survive: choose the version you love-or the one Spiral left behind.</p><p><strong>The Mirrorfold</strong><br>A recursion-cleaning entity formed of reflections and regrets. In this volume it doesn't just observe. <strong>It speaks</strong>-with Charlie's face Sophie's voice and a message no one is ready to hear.</p>
