The echoes of high school halls have long since faded, but their impact remains—etched deep in Beverly's memory like a scar that's still tender to the touch. She made it out. Not just out of school, but out of the expectations, projections, and quiet demands her family placed on her shoulders since she was a child.
But freedom? That's proving to be a whole different kind of battle.
College was supposed to be a clean slate. Yet Beverly quickly learned that escaping the noise of others doesn't mean you've silenced the one inside yourself. The one that questions every decision. The one that wonders if she's enough without their approval.
In college, she majors in psychology—not because anyone told her to, but because she's desperate to understand herself.
The classes awaken something in her: a curiosity, a rage, a sorrow she never had the words for as a writer. But with every new insight, she also uncovers hidden scars. Wounds tied to a father who disappeared behind his own disappointment. To a deception that may go too far. What about Duality?
