Silent Shadows

Silent Shadows - Xane Volume 13

The Lost Edgewater Experiment

In Edgewater, emotions aren't just forgotten-they're erased.

Xane and River are thrust into their most chilling mystery yet when they stumble upon Edgewater, a secluded town trapped between towering cliffs and a sprawling lake. Everything about the place seems normal-except for one haunting detail: no one there remembers how to feel.

The residents move mechanically, their faces blank, their voices devoid of emotion. There's no laughter, no tears, no anger... nothing. It's as if someone has pressed pause on their humanity, leaving behind hollow shells who exist but never truly live.

Guided by the Analyst, Xane discovers the sinister truth behind this eerie calm-a decades-old experiment known as The Lost Edgewater Experiment, designed to suppress emotions and control human behavior. But the experiment didn't end. It evolved. And now, an invisible force is draining the town's emotions systematically, leaving no trace of what makes them human.

As Xane delves deeper into the mystery, she encounters an unseen enemy capable of consuming emotions, feeding on fear, joy, sadness, and even love. This force isn't just erasing feelings-it's creating a world without humanity. And it's growing stronger.

But the danger isn't just around her-it's within her.

River begins to lose his emotions, his vibrant personality dimming into the same hollow existence as the townspeople. Xane is faced with an impossible choice: risk losing River to the void or confront the shadows head-on, even if it means facing her own fears and insecurities.

Her only hope lies within a windowless warehouse, guarded by invisible forces and robotic sentinels. What she finds inside will change everything she thought she knew about herself, about humanity, and about the very nature of emotions.

But time is running out. The shadows are closing in, threatening to consume not only the town but also Xane and River. To save Edgewater-and herself-Xane must uncover who is behind this emotional extinction and why they seek to erase the very essence of what makes people human.

Can Xane conquer the shadows before they consume everything?

Or will she become a silent shadow herself?
