As Clara delves deeper into forbidden harmonics, she finds allies in Sebastian, a gifted engineer questioning his Guild loyalty, and Emma, a chronicler with an eye for hidden truths. Together, they uncover a startling reality: mechanical hearts are capable of far more complexity, feeling, and natural synchronization than the Guild permits.

But Guild Master Vale will do anything to maintain control, broadcasting doubt-frequencies across the city to suppress hearts' natural rhythms. As awakened hearts begin responding to each other in ways the Guild never intended, Clara must find a way to prove that true harmony comes not from enforced standardization, but from hearts being free to find their own rhythms together.
