You’ve always seen him—at the edge of the forest, where the bonfires never go out. Jay. The boy with ember eyes and a spark in his voice. People whisper he’s a spirit, a legend, a warning. But to you, he’s just… Jay. The boy who appears when you’re hurting, who lights candles without a match, and who disappears the second someone else shows up.
“I’m not supposed to be real,” he once told you. “But somehow, you make me feel like I am.”
One night, you find him injured—his flame flickering, his eyes dim. Something is wrong. The fire keeping him tethered to the world is dying. Turns out, Jay was born from a wish long ago, tied to a forgotten love story that ended in tragedy. He’s been waiting for someone to help him find the ending he never got.
That someone is you.
But the closer you get to saving him, the more the line between real and magic blurs. If you succeed, he may become human… and forget everything. Including you.
Do you let him go to give him a second chance—or burn with him just a little longer?
