The Boy Who Spoke to Shadows Rayan was eight when he first noticed the extra shadow.

The Library That Remembered Her. AI-Generated.
The Library That Remembered Her Arman had not planned to walk that way. He never did. The old district near the abandoned harbor was a place he avoided — every street carried the faint echo of her laughter.
