﹒⌗ ┊ For billions of years, the Vaelith have watched over countless universes searching for one answer: How can existence become perfect? To them, emotion is the disease that destroys civilizations. Every war, betrayal, extinction, and collapse can be traced back to feeling. So the Vaelith erased emotion from themselves long ago. Nysera Vael was never supposed to be different. An elite Observer within the powerful Eidolon Circle, Nysera begins experiencing impossible things while studying humanity: empathy, curiosity, grief… even loneliness. Viewed as defective by her own species, she is exiled to Earth as a living experiment alongside Kaelor Veyn, a loyal enforcer assigned to monitor her descent into emotional corruption. Disguised as breathtakingly beautiful humans, the two descend into the dark underbelly of The Boys universe — a world ruled by Vought, celebrity superheroes, corruption, addiction, and violence. But Earth is not merely their punishment. It is a test site. The Vaelith secretly unleash creatures called the Hollowed onto the planet — monstrous remnants of failed realities where emotion was erased completely. Nysera and Kaelor are ordered to destroy them quietly before humanity learns the truth. ‧₊˚
