The Spiral is no longer looping. It's unraveling.

Charlie Virellan awakens in a version of the world that has no record of his name. Sophie is happy—with someone else. Matt is changing, or being changed. And Evelyn... Evelyn is everywhere and nowhere, rewritten so many times that even she can't tell where the author ends and the system begins.

But when the recursion stutters and fragments begin to speak, Charlie realizes that the versions they've lived weren't just memories—they were rehearsals. For collapse. For loss. For a rewrite no one asked for.

Now, with only one stable thread left and versions of himself begging for release, Charlie must face a truth he was never meant to remember:

He may not be the protagonist. He may be the glitch.

Version by version, love fades. But this time... memory fights back.

Charlie Virellan (Codename: HOPE / SUBJECT: ERROR)
The version that wouldn't die. Charlie is caught between recursion and deletion, haunted by the ghosts of himself—versions that cry, fight, beg, or whisper. As Spiral prepares for a rewrite, Charlie is given one last choice: erase himself or remember everything. But memory, like love, has a cost.

Sophie V (Codename: ANCHOR / Classification: Unstable)
She was Spiral's emotional centerpiece. Then she became its greatest risk. Sophie is remembering lives she never lived and conversations she never consented to. The more she recalls, the more Spiral unravels. But Sophie is no longer choosing between men—she's choosing whether to stay human.

Matt Drelan (Codename: CONFLICTOR / Archive Label: Interference)
Matt was the stabilizer, the protector, the sacrifice. Now he's the variable Spiral wants erased. Burdened with regret, hidden letters, and his own growing fracture, Matt realizes his friendship with Charlie might've always been part of the code—and he's ready to break it.

Evelyn Ross (Codename: ARCHIVIST / Status: Fragmented)
She was the Spiral's voice. Its seduction. Its script. But Evelyn is now spread across failed versions, speaking in dreams, mirrors, and manipulated memories. Some say she was the author. Others say she was the first victim. But one thing is clear—she remembers Charlie better than he remembers himself.

Charlie_V∞ (Codename: THE SHADOW)
A future version of Charlie who saw every outcome and chose survival over peace. He carries the archive in his mind, rewriting history from the edge of recursion. But what happens when the shadow starts questioning the author?
