Synopsis

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Amidst the haunting ambiance of a train station, an enigmatic sculptor extends an unforeseen hand to an unconscious stranger. As their connection deepens, they plunge into a realm of audacious drug-fueled experiments.

But within a single dream, a monstrous revelation sets forth an unbreakable pact: never to succumb to sleep's embrace again.
