The Quiet After
Overview:
In a near-future society where grief is erased by law, Noah wakes up with fragments of an unknown woman after a near-fatal accident. Drawn into therapy and reassured by a trusted friend, he begins to piece together the unbearable truth. His search for her, and for himself, becomes an act of defiance against a world that values compliance over love. Haunted by memory and hunted by the system, Noah is forced to confront the cost of remembering, and the deeper cost of letting go.
