    Summary

    You had a life before the ninth floor.

    A job you were good at. An apartment that was yours. Friends who reached for you in small, ordinary ways. And Zayne—the quiet, steady almost-more-than-a-friend who noticed when the world became too loud before you had to say it.

    Then you disappear.

    When Zayne finds you on a frozen roadside three days later, survival becomes hospital lights, evidence photographs, police questions, public speculation, and the slow work of learning which parts of your body still belong to you.

    The investigation begins with fragments: three nicknames, a construction site, cigarettes, a camera, a song, and the man who called you honey.
