“People’s joys and sorrows are never truly shared.”
“There is no such thing as truly knowing how someone else feels,
even if you’ve experienced everything they have.”
There is an ability called “Parallel Empathy.”
It lets people feel another person’s emotions with absolute certainty.
It seems to give people one more “self” in this lonely world.
So, could it also be used
to let the deaf hear the world again,
to let the blind see once more,
or to make criminals experience what their victims went through?
No official couples. Happy ending, with everyone finding their own place.
Soft sci-fi.
A slow burn. The protagonist appears in Chapter Two.
Started writing on New Year’s Eve, January 28, 2025. After finishing, I’ll revise it from beginning to end.
Theme: Everyone knows their own hardships, and must find their own way through joy and sorrow.
