Sober built a quiet life in an Australian city.A small pharmacy.
A small apartment.
Days shaped by ordinary work and the steady rhythm of people needing something simple: medicine, advice, reassurance.
Usefulness suits her.

Sober is a restrained literary novel about consequence, distance, and the lives people build after leaving something behind. Set in the same world as the indie video game Drink, the story stands on its own while exploring what remains after accountability: ordinary work, small choices, and the quiet weight of history between two people who no longer belong to each other.
