While the world learned to trade breath, someone else was learning what it cost.
Breathless: Part II - The First Breath Taken is a parallel novel set in the world of Breathless, following Mara - a nurse who begins to see what the system hides: delayed collapse, stolen recovery, and lives spent quietly for efficiency.
As breath becomes currency and survival becomes optimized, Mara helps people endure from the inside. This is the unseen story of how resistance began - not as rebellion, but as survival.
This novel fills in the gaps, deepens the world, and reframes everything that comes after.
