WORLD PRIMER :
They say love is the purest energy.
But in Vareth, purity burns.
In this city of glass and neon, emotion isn't just felt — it's measured, harvested, sold.
Joy can power a building. Grief can light a street. Lust can destroy a mind.
And at the center of it all stands Eren Vail, a boy cursed to feel everything.
He absorbs the world's emotions until he no longer knows which ones are his.
Every touch is a song. Every glance, a scream.
Those who meet his eyes fall in love, hate, envy, or fear — but never forget.
The Bureau wants to cage him.
The Consortium wants to weaponize him.
Two people want to save him — or be ruined trying.
In Vareth, emotions rule.
And love, the strongest emotion of all, just might end the world.
