Every criminal has a locked door in their heart.
Psychologist Lin Shen has the key.
He can enter anyone's mind, see the world through their eyes, and feel fear through their skin. He has seen the cold piece of metal in a mother's stomach after she lost her child. He has seen a man's almost tender obsession with fire. He has felt the weight of a wanderer who can never return home.
He cannot forget these memories, and he can never give them back.
Every time he enters a mind, he leaves a little of himself behind. Eight fragments, eight lives, buried deep in his consciousness like strangers living inside him. He remembers what everyone felt, but he is the one person he is slowly losing.
Lin Shen knows his gift is a one-way road. Every time he uses it, it drives him deeper into the unknown.
And he knows that someone is waiting for him at the end of that road.
That person has seen him and knows his eyes. They did seven years ago, and they still do now.
The deeper he investigates, the closer he gets to that person. The closer he gets, the less he resembles himself.
But that person has been waiting for him all along.
