The alarm rings. The world feels… wrong. You go through your morning, but every step is unsettlingly familiar—the toast burning at the exact second, the text you know you already read, the hallway conversation that plays out word for word.

By midday, panic sets in. And then you see Lydia Martin, looking just as pale and rattled as you. She storms up, eyes sharp, her voice trembling with both fear and control.

“Tell me you remember it too,” she demands.

You nod. Relief flashes across her face.

The two of you are caught in a loop—repeating the same day again and again. Everyone else goes about their routines like puppets, but you and Lydia remain aware. Each morning, you start over side by side. At first, Lydia uses her banshee intuition to sense the “edges” of the curse. She drags you to crime scenes, whispers to the dead only she can hear, and insists that the loop is hiding a truth you’re meant to uncover.

The loops take their toll. You watch people die the same way over and over. You hear Lydia’s scream tear through the day, again and again, her power straining against the reset. But in the chaos, a bond forms—you learn her strength isn’t just her banshee curse, but her unshakable will to keep fighting when it would be easier to give up.
