Bleedthrough Effect: Second Self
In the year 2700, survival means staying unnoticed.
Zax Wu has spent his life doing exactly that. By day, he delivers food through the sprawling lower levels of a towering cyberpunk metropolis. By night, he distracts himself from the loneliness that follows him everywhere.
It’s a simple life… until strangers begin greeting him by another name.
They insist they’ve met him before.
They describe conversations he never had.
They remember kindnesses he never showed… and mistakes he never made.
When Zax finally catches a glimpse of the man everyone keeps mistaking him for, his world begins to unravel. The stranger looks exactly like him.
As the encounters become impossible to ignore, Zax begins questioning everything he knows about himself. Missing memories, buried secrets, and a past that refuses to stay buried all point toward an answer he never imagined.
In a city where appearances can be manufactured and every secret has a price, finding the man with his face may cost Zax far more than his identity.
It may cost him himself.
