Decades dormant, Encephalitis Lethargica has returned-deadlier, faster, and far more devastating than ever before.
What begins as a cluster of unexplained cases quickly escalates into a full-scale medical crisis. Some victims collapse into a state of unnatural sleep, trapped between wakefulness and oblivion. Others are consumed by relentless insomnia, their minds unraveling as reality fractures into something unrecognizable.
Hospitals become containment zones. Protocols strain under the weight of the unknown. And as the afflicted begin to change in disturbing and unpredictable ways, fear spreads faster than the illness itself.
Inside Metropolitan Hospital, survival is no longer just about staying alive-it is about holding on to sanity.
Cheen and her companions arrive searching for answers, but what they uncover threatens to dismantle everything they believe about the disease... and themselves. In a world where the mind can no longer be trusted, every decision carries a cost-and every moment of clarity may be the last.
Because this illness does not simply kill.
It erodes.
It distorts.
It breaks.
The body may endure-
but the mind will not.
