The neighbors are polite in a way that feels rehearsed. But inside this carefully controlled world, one thing stands out—the locked upstairs room Peter insists she never open. He tells her it’s a utility space with dangerous wiring. He tells her her memory loss comes from “a traumatic past” she’s not ready to face. He tells her she’s safe now, that he’s the only one she can trust. But the late-night ...

The Shatter That Called Itself an Unraveling is not a guidebook, a solution, or a roadmap.
