In the city of Core Pacifica, Juniper wants nothing more than to stay inside. She has a console, a phone, and too many debts to count. Her savings are drying up, her little sister needs more than she can give, and she’s not sure she’ll survive the week.

Outside, the world is crawling with heroes in name only. Supervillains run wild, but it's the smiling capes who scare her most. Even a trip to the store could turn into a disaster.

This is not a story about destiny. It's about a girl pushed until she breaks, about making impossible choices in a world that punishes the weak, and about what happens when survival starts looking like villainy.

Expect pain. Expect slow change. Expect fallout.
