Synopsis
The revolution ended in silence. Years after the fall of the first resistance, the Republic has rebuilt itself on ashes and fear. Truth is a threat. Memory is a crime. And silence is law. Seventeen-year-old Arian Vale works inside the Ministry of Reconciliation, redacting forbidden histories and erasing names that once meant everything. He’s a model citizen — on paper. But in the privacy of his cracked notebook, he sketches symbols he’s never learned, and dreams of a father who officially never existed. When Arian uncovers a banned message buried inside a file he was meant to destroy, his life begins to unravel. The message isn’t just a piece of history — it’s a call to finish what the silence tried to bury. Now, hunted by the regime he served and drawn into an underground world of whispers, symbols, and memory thieves, Arian must choose between obedience and truth. Alongside a rogue broadcaster, a haunted coder, and a stranger known only as The Echo Man, Arian will uncover the last secrets of the past — and decide if silence can ever be broken without blood. The silence is cracking. The dead are speaking. And this time, forgetting won’t be enough.

Chapter 1 - Character Introduction

Arian Vale

Quiet, observant, rebellious under the surface. Works for the government redacting truth — but secretly sketches forbidden symbols. Haunted by a vanished father.

🔹 Kael Idris

Former street performer turned pirate broadcaster. Charismatic, loud, and dangerous. He believes sound can bring down the regime — one illegal message at a time.

🔹 Nima Lorin

Sharp-eyed, brilliant with technology. A coder hiding in plain sight within the Ministry. She's loyal to truth — but hides a secret that could destroy Arian.

🔹 Eris Vale

Arian's mother. Calm, distant, burdened by silence. She once believed in the Republic — now she fears her son will follow the same path that ruined his father.

🔹 Director Voss

Cold and precise head of the Ministry of Reconciliation. Believes memory is poison. Would rather erase a city than let truth spread.

🔹 The Echo Man

Age unknown. A ghost from the past. Appears when the silence is weakest. Some say he was part of the first resistance. Others say he's already dead
