The universe doesn't make mistakes. It erases them. Ten years after abandoning Jarl -the boy he once called family-Prismo has built a quiet life on not looking back. But when a dying, reality-glitching traveler from a deleted timeline crashes into his apartment, the past comes roaring back with a cosmic death sentence attached. The traveler is an anomaly, and his presence triggers a Syntax Sweep: a system-wide purge that will erase the entire sector to remove the error. As reality pixelates into wireframes and the walls begin to fail, Prismo and Jarl are forced into a desperate race against deletion. To survive the universe, they'll have to survive each other first. The story is a slow-burn queer romance wrapped inside a dramatic sci-fi thriller. So pour a cup of tea and enjoy! • Freshly written and gently paced.
